About Attic Correctional Services Inc

Attic Correctional Services is a residential drug and alcohol addiction recovery program for adults in Madison, Wisconsin who are involved in the criminal justice system. They provide residents an alternative to prison or jail and offer intensive addiction recovery support as a condition of their jail diversion. The cost of your care may be covered in full or in part by public funds, donations, and financial aid. Their mission is restorative justice.

You may enter their halfway house after you leave incarceration or rehab or you may go there instead of being sentenced to imprisonment. You’ll have a lot of structure, support, and supervision and you’ll be required to abide strictly by all the house and program rules in order to avoid going or returning to jail.

This is probably going to include significant mental health care and individual, group, and maybe even family counseling to help you get to the root of your problems. You’ll learn to understand and resolve the past traumas and the emotional and psychological factors that might have contributed both to your criminal behavior and your substance addiction.

You’ll also learn critical life skills to help you build and maintain a sober lifestyle and to become a productive member of your family, community, and the workforce. They place a major emphasis on job readiness and you’ll be expected to get your education, learn a marketable trade, or find and maintain a steady job and a stable home. The good news though is that they’ll help you at every step of that process to make sure you’re able to support yourself, have a healthy and substance free place to live, and are unlikely to fall back into the patterns that got you into trouble with the law in the first place.

Their Kipling Street location is also called the Schwert AODA Treatment Center.

Dollar icon Payment Options

  • self-pay iconSelf-pay options

Medical briefcase icon Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient

Clients who are admitted to an outpatient rehab may be stepping down from intensive inpatient care or may be transitioning directly from a detox facility. Outpatient treatment enables clients to remain in or return to their home, workplace, and community without compromising access to care. Clients engage in addiction counseling and recovery education and may also receive evidence-based complementary therapies, such as yoga, acupuncture, and massage. Medication assisted treatment (MAT) is commonly available for clients in alcohol and/or opioid recovery.

inpatient iconInpatient

Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.

intensive-outpatient iconIntensive Outpatient

Intensive outpatient programs (IOP) support clients' return to their community following inpatient treatment and may also offer an alternative to hospitalization for clients who are relatively stable following detox. Many intensive outpatient rehabs require clients to participate in a minimum of nine and a maximum of 20 treatment hours weekly. IOP services are also highly customizable and typically include a combination of addiction counseling, recovery-focused life skills training, medication assisted treatment (MAT), and holistic therapies such as meditation.

aftercare iconAftercare

Rehab aftercare programs support clients' long-term recovery through highly customized wraparound care aligned with clients' evolving needs. Most have been sober for a period of weeks or longer and have completed intensive inpatient rehab but may be receiving outpatient care. Many clients also receive services after being discharged from formal treatment. Long-term care plans are typically developed in collaboration with the client's case manager and care team and may include peer coaching, relapse prevention, and related services.

12-step icon12-Step

12 step programs take a holistic approach to addiction recovery, combining peer support with personal spiritual growth. These programs prioritize regular attendance at 12 step meetings, which are free, anonymous, peer-led, and available day and night in most communities. Spiritual principles are invoked to help participants address the root causes of addiction, accept responsibility, and relinquish control over that which cannot be changed. Dedicated programs for specialized groups, such as youth and seniors, are common.

sober-living iconSober Living Homes

Sober Living Houses (SLHs), aka sober homes or halfway houses, are safe, substance-free, supportive living facilities for those recovering from substance abuse. Ideal for those who've just been through inpatient or outpatient treatment, SLHs are supervised environments with rules that support sobriety, such as curfews, shared chores, and therapeutic meetings. Residents are also often trained on life skills and coping skills to make it easier to transition into society. SLHs also provide a strong sense of community that can lead to the kind of deep and lasting connections with other sober individuals that supports a new, healthy lifestyle.

heart-hands iconIntervention Services

If you are planning a drug intervention in Wisconsin, many rehab facilities offer professional intervention services to assist you. Having the expert insight of a trained intervention specialist can improve your chances of success when helping you plan and facilitate the intervention. This third-party involvement can provide the impartiality necessary for a productive conversation and appropriate guidance for next steps.

medically-assisted-detox iconMedically Assisted Detox

Medical detox involves weaning your body off drugs and/or alcohol in an inpatient setting, and is often the first step in addiction recovery. Quitting alcohol and certain drugs (like benzodiazepines or opioids) can cause dangerous side effects once you have become physically dependent. In medically assisted detox, a team of on-site healthcare professionals will work to keep you safe and comfortable during this process. Additionally, they may administer medications when needed to alleviate any withdrawal symptoms.

Heart icon Treatment

alcohol iconAlcoholism

The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.

drugs iconDrug Addiction

The goal of drug rehab in Wisconsin is to address drug addiction as a complex issue that involves physical, mental, and relational aspects. During rehab, treatment focuses on each of these areas and gives you the tools you need to achieve and maintain sobriety.

mental-health iconMental Health and Substance Abuse

A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track.

opium iconOpioid Addiction

Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.

Hand holding medical sign icon Clinical Services

inpatient-file iconCognitive Behavioral Therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.

intervention iconGroup Therapy

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

mental-health iconIndividual Therapy

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.

house-medical iconTrauma Therapy

Trauma therapy gives you the opportunity to understand and manage the emotional and physical responses that often follow witnessing or experiencing a traumatic event. Working with an experienced and trained therapist, you can process the events of the trauma and develop healthier coping strategies to reduce your symptoms.

couples-therapy iconCouples Therapy

During couples therapy, you will engage in activities that promote forgiveness, healthy communication, and understanding. You'll receive "homework" to practice these skills during the week between sessions. Couples therapy typically lasts around 12 weeks.

family iconFamily Therapy

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

life-skills iconLife Skills

Life skills trainings involve all the skills a person must have in order to function successfully in the world. These include time management, career guidance, money management, and effective communication. Truly successful addiction recovery is based on the ability to not only live substance-free, but to thrive. Life skills teaches the practical necessities of functioning in society, which sets clients up for success in life, and therefore sobriety.

This place actually helped me. I was sent there around 2014ish and the staff they had back then was very helpful and professional. The group of guys I was there with were respectful to the staff, clients, and the neighbors. You cant blame the house or staff for a bad apple in the group

I live in the area and I'm honestly sick of getting cat called by the men sitting on the porch while just trying to walk my dog. It's certainly not the first time and I doubt it'll be the last, but staff should be aware of what goes on.

This halfway house has hurt me and I never lived there. They/an employee of/or any other individual who accessed the office at one point in a 20 - 30 day period. took my loved ones controlled medication. Now my loved one is sitting, wrongly and innocently in jail for 2 months now. The head employees have lied to cover their mistakes and at the freedom and suffering of someone I love. This place needs to be shut down and the media needs to know the type of place they are running. Violators, liars, thieves. Who knows what else this place is/had gotten away with and at the expense of innocent people trying to better themselves!!!!! Shame on the SCHWERT house.....Attic correctional institution.
