About Koinonia Residential Treatment Center

Koinonia Residential Treatment Center in Rhinelander, Wisconsin works with adults in a wilderness setting to treat them for alcohol and drug addiction. If you or your loved one are suffering from addiction to alcohol, benzos, stimulants like cocaine or meth, or opioids, they can help you recover. They’re a licensed treatment center with a campus that has 35 beds that sits on a 3 acre plot. They are coed but they do some gender specific groups.

If you decide to attend this program, you will stay on campus and follow a structured schedule. Your day will be filled with therapy groups, support groups, relapse prevention and wellness activities. Therapy groups include group, family, and individual sessions.

They have a special emphasis on education for the family members of people who attend this program that I find commendable. They set the expectation that the family of someone with an addiction will also have to make changes and they support family in making those changes.

They also have someone on staff who specializes in native and indigenous culture. If you have native heritage and want to integrate cultural and spiritual practices into your healing, they may be a good choice for you. They also have a sweat lodge and a smudging area.

They have more positive than negative reviews and many of their positive reviews are enthusiastic five star reviews. Those who had a good experience found the staff helpful and found what they learned useful in keeping them in recovery.

They accept limited insurance. They are likely out of network for most plans, but since they are a licensed treatment facility, you may be able to get some help if you are insured. You would want to talk to your insurance company ahead of time to determine what help they can give you. They don’t take Medicaid.

My son just recently went to Koinonia in Rhinelander. For him, let's just say when he left he cried & was scared to leave there. This is saying a whole lot!! It was structured, a great counselor, & they kept them busy with lots of group sessions. He needed this. I suggest a Sober living housing after this, which my son refused cuz he wanted to work. The only problem I have with this Rehab is that it's only 30 days, u can't stay any longer. My son said he asked & it's 800$'s a day there after that even insurance won't cover. This just isn't right. Well, unless u are Native American & the tribe pays. But others don't have this type of money & so badly need way longer to recover. Sadly, I have my doubts for my son. He did great there but it should have been waayy longer for him. It breaks my heart when he was so very close.

Just be aware of this facility... once they take your money and refuse help due to health conditions of the person. They might just say that's how their business runs and they can not refund your money to find another rehab facility for another week or so. Think twice before you pay..

Miranda is an extremely inexperienced counselor. The place is pretty run down and desperately needs basic maintenance. The food is awful. They don t let you detox so make sure to do that before going there. The website is not accurate you can never go to the YMCA, they force participants to share in group, if you have a problem with any of their rules they threaten to expel you from the program for voicing your concerns. Also there isn t an actual grievance policy if you want to file a grievance they spin you in circles and threaten to kick you out of the program.

Location

Accepted Insurance

Koinonia Residential Treatment Center works with several private insurance providers and also accepts private payments when possible, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

Other Forms of Payment

Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.

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.

Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.

Addiction Treatments

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.
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.
medically-assisted-detox iconMedically Assisted Detox
Drug and alcohol addiction often takes a heavy toll on one's body. Over time, a physical dependence can develop, meaning the body physiologically needs the substance to function. Detox is the process of removing drugs and/or alcohol from the body, a process that can be lethal if mismanaged. Medical detox is done by licensed medical professionals who monitor vital signs and keep you safe, healthy, and as comfortable as possible as you go through detox and withdrawal.

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.

Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.

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 thumbnail image
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 thumbnail image
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 thumbnail image
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 thumbnail image
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.
hearing-impaired-program thumbnail image
Hearing Impaired Program
A sensory disability, such as hearing impairment, can compound the challenges of addiction recovery. Drug rehabs that are specially designed to accommodate the needs of persons with hearing impairments will include special accessibility features and accommodations to make treatment as comfortable and effective as possible. This may include access to American Sign Language interpreters.

Clinical Services

As a form of substance use treatment, cognitive behavioral therapy in Wisconsin offers several advantages. The duration of this talk therapy is typically 20 sessions or less, so it can be more affordable, with quicker results. It's also offered in multiple formats, so it can be tailored to meet individual needs.

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.

Individual therapy offers you a tailored approach to treat drug addiction. This focuses on your unique needs and offers you personalized support outside of a group setting. You begin to understand what triggers your addictive behavior and develop coping skills that can support your recovery.

When conducting motivational interviewing in Wisconsin, therapists engage with their clients as equal partners. They don't provide unsolicited advice or confront clients. Instead, they ask questions and listen, with the goal of empowering clients to recognize any need for change and their ability to make those changes.

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.

One focus of family therapy is to create a network for the individual in recovery. Families must identify dysfunctional patterns and develop healthier ways of interacting. This can significantly improve their loved one's treatment outcome.

Recovery is a personal journey and it's outcome is ours to choose. Is it tough, yes. Is it sometimes emotional, if you're doing it right, yes. Did we color, sure! And role played and talked and laughed- a lot!! Never once was I made to feel less than anyone. The staff at Koin showed me how to look at myself in a new light and gave me tools to build a life and confidence I had never known before. The outside recovery groups that visit weekly are as supportive and have continued to help me on my path a year later. I'm grateful to Koin and the AA and NA groups. I love going back every Sunday to meet and support the current clients and learn their stories and see their own growth! Best experience of my life!

Called them and not helpful at all. Sad that the process to get help is so difficult. I have security health and they still want me to pay full price for treatment. Very disappointed!

Response from the owner1 year ago
I understand your frustration. For all commercial insurance plans, there are some insurance companies who decide that Inpatient Substance Abuse services are not medically necessary under their commercial insurance guidelines. Therefore, we must collect either the full cost of treatment, deductible and/or copays upfront. Any insurance payments that we receive - we reimburse the client in the amount of the insurance reimbursement. We would be happy to dicuss this issue with you further. Please feel free to reach out to us directly.

This treatment was a joke. They had me coloring in coloring books, playing charades, making paper collages, acting out skits (daily)...it was embarrassing. They used "shame" to manipulate and tried to call it a "therapeutic tool". This was a gross experience. The clinical staff is petty and incompetent, assessing me at "precontemplation stage" for someone with significant sobriety and in a residential treatment voluntarily. If you can go ANYWHERE else, do yourself a favor and go there instead. Seriously.

We wish you well, Adam and, though our program may not have been a good fit, we hope you find the help you need.
