TRIGGER WARNING: mentions of verbal and psychological abuse, sexual harassment, and harassment of disabled individuals.Go to the Alano Club in Wrightstown. This is no longer a place of heeling, and redemption.I once deeply loved coming here in the evenings- but lately, the aesthetic has become shallow and a gross disappointment. The double standards allowed/enforced by board members is staggering: one is to be welcoming while working the counter and encourage sales; yet we are greeted by a board member and their puppeteer with absolute disdain and an unwillingness while coupled with a lack a desire to accumulate more sales for the funds of the club. These two individuals have all but pushed out the paying evening crowd who come for sober camaraderie and to play hands of cribbage. The second, and frankly a despicable instance of hypocrisy, this board member approaching and demanding tolerance to allow vagrancy to perch itself within the club; telling fellow paid members of the club that we are to tolerate this double standard, which is disallowed as written in the bylaws. There are two people that are in place as voted positions for running the canteen counter. There is a third, a rather benighted individual, who by posturing as a member of leadership, narcissistically and willfully intimidates, all while they mansplain, and insult those around them. This solipsistic individual was witnessed, both verbally and via digital correspondence, intimidating and controlling an intimate partner, thus cruelly abusing a board member within the club premises. The disparaging comments made by this egotistical individual, have affected members of the club, and this behavior has been condoned, despite numerous complaints. The handling of complaints against this individual is contemptible, and a stark example of what awaits females and meeker individuals who seek a reprieve from this tyrant s projections of self-hatred.The treatment of more feeble individuals, and the handicapped has all but solidified the atmosphere in this hell hole of untrained and unqualified individuals, who seek to use a volunteer position as a position of power to lord over club members instead of putting the clubs interests first.Everyone s journey to sobriety is different, but a board member telling a newcomer and a sponsee to live as they do, clean and free of all substances, while then showing signs of use and confirming said suspicions by revealing to other members their illicit use of illegal substances is deplorable and hypocritical. Ironically, their behavior is comparable to a politician- self loathing and dishonest.The deepest form of their hypocrisy is the laughable 12 tenants they claim to live by: they preach their dogma and in the same breath, completely disregard their program while alienating newcomers, or placing them in comprisable positions; risking the sobriety of others by placing their own power hungry personal interests ahead of the 12 tenants they egregiously claim to have changed their ways.
A place of healing and learning strenght and hope..
The last time I was there I was called a Communist and Pathet Lao because I am Hmong. I was very offended. My family along with other thousands of Hmong men, women and children fought and died with the CIA (USA) in the jungles of Laos.

Accepted Insurance
Other Forms of Payment
Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.
Addiction Treatments
Levels of Care
Outpatient Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.
12-Step 12-step programs are addiction recovery models based on Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). A number of substance abuse programs (including some drug and alcohol rehab centers) use the 12 steps as a basis for treatment. Beginning steps involve admitting powerlessness over the addiction and creating a spiritual basis for recovery. Middle steps including making direct amends to those who've been hurt by the addiction, and the final step is to assist others in addiction recovery in the same way. 12-Step offshoots including Narcotics Anonymous (NA), Cocaine Anonymous (CA), Dual Recovery Anonymous (DRA), Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA) and Gamblers Anonymous (GA).
Aftercare Support Completing a drug or alcohol rehab program shouldn't spell the end of substance abuse treatment. Aftercare involves making a sustainable plan for recovery, including ongoing support. This can include sober living arrangements like halfway houses, career counseling, and setting a patient up with community programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA).
Treatments
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.
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.
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.
Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.
Programs
Adult Program
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
Program For Men
Men face specific challenges and concerns when seeking addiction treatment. Gender-specific recovery programs help them tackle these issues head-on in an environment that's focused, targeted, and distraction-free. It also gives them the opportunity to connect with and learn from other men who have been through a similar journey and can offer support for the next step.
Program For Women
Rehabs for women provide a safe, nurturing space for female clients to heal. These treatment programs consider the specific obstacles that women can face during recovery and place a special emphasis on mental, social, physical, and reproductive health. They explore how each woman's experience has shaped the trajectory of their substance use, addressing issues such as sexual abuse and past trauma.
Young Adult Program
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.
Clinical Services
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.
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.
