About Meta House

Meta House is a substance use addiction recovery facility for women in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. They serve women over 18 affected by substance use disorders. This includes single women and women with children. They offer both residential and outpatient treatment as well as transitional living arrangements for women in the early stage of recovery. You can fund your treatment here via Medicaid. Their outpatient program is ideal if you’re transitioning out of residential treatment or you’ve recently experienced a relapse. You can expect to receive individualized gender responsive treatment rooted in proven therapeutic practices. Their recovery professionals are compassionate, highly experienced and knowledgeable.

Their outpatient services include counseling, addiction education and relapse prevention. The program also involves goal setting, mediation and urine screening. You’ll participate in individual counseling with a licensed therapist to address personal issues fueling your substance use, set realistic goals and assess progress as necessary. Group counseling helps you explore how past trauma like physical, sexual and emotional abuse influences your substance use. Unraveling the root causes of your addiction this way enables you to build solid coping mechanisms that foster relapse prevention. The program is all about equipping you with the tools to manage unresolved trauma to reduce relapse and achieve lasting recovery.

Their chemical dependence education provides valuable insight on how your substance use impacts you, your children and other people in your life. There’s also a Seeking Safety and dialectical behavior therapy skills group that focuses on teaching coping strategies for trauma and emotional regulation.

The facility also offers smoke cessation therapy alongside substance use addiction recovery. This can benefit women struggling to quit smoking or chewing tobacco. The treatment uses motivational interviewing to guide clients in exploring and making changes to address tobacco use or misuse.

You can also benefit from their vocational education and case management services. Vocational training prepares you for employment opportunities post recovery, while case management services involve connection to community resources that support your recovery journey. This may include medical care, housing and job placement. Comments from past clients reflect overall positive experiences and impressive quality of care.

Medical briefcase icon Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient

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.

inpatient iconInpatient

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.

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.

partial-hospitalization iconPartial Hospitalization Program

A partial hospitalization program (PHP) offers short-term intensive care for drug and alcohol addiction. Often part of a step-down service, PHP treatment allows you to attend treatment on-site during the day, then return home during non-treatment hours. Plans of care typically include relapse prevention, medication management, and behavioral therapy services. Depending on your progress, the duration of a PHP can average 90 days with daily sessions running 4-8 hours per week. Most insurance providers fully or partially cover PHP treatment.

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.

check iconDual Diagnosis

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.

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.

substance-abuse iconSubstance Abuse

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.

inpatient-file iconCognitive Behavioral Therapy

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.

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.

desert iconMotivational Interviewing

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.

house-medical iconTrauma Therapy

Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.

Love Meta House they have done so much for me.I would recommend it to any women in need of these type of services. They are especially helpful to women with children but also welcome women with no children as well. They truly changed my life and made me feel very welcomed.

Very very dirty facility, poorly trained/educated staff. They control women's behavior with food. ie, if the staff (with rapid turnover) catches a woman being good, you get a token, 4 tokens earns you a creamer for the one cup of coffee you're allowed per day. (Which is served from the office for 30 minutes per day.) If you're a bad girl, you get a punishment token. You are not allowed to eat when you're hungry- only certain times. (except for a few snacks: seemingly old hard boiled eggs or mostly rotten fruit) No pop, treats or kindness from the staff. They do not accommodate any special dietary needs and they have no medical knowledge or training.There is one functioning (really dirty) phone shared amongst 20 women and they misplaced at least one of my meds EVERY DAY. The staff freely eats chips, candy, treats, pizza, takeout etc in front of the women who are given plates of the cheapest carb loaded and often expired by weeks or longer food available. My room was robbed the first day as there are no door locks- "staff" enter at will, Better than prison, worse than a halfway house, about equal to jail.

Kyle Caldwell and Morgan are wonderful human beings. I will always thank them very much. The 5 stars are mostly dedicated to their goodness and sincerity. As well as a few other people.

Meta House has saved my life, and more than once. I chose to go there a second time as I knew the work I had to put in personally would be required of me there, and knew that not being treated as if there was something wrong with me was especially important to me to get through and over such a shameful time in my life. It makes me very sad to see others who had negative things to say about Meta House; whether it be their residential, sober bridge housing, or outpatient treatment. They make it clear that you are in charge to make the decisions for yourself in your recovery process and that they will not do it for you. Nor will they give in to complaints about something that has been proven to work for so many others. I found that when I had issues accepting the way things work there- residential or sober housing- it was something wrong in me that I, personally, needed to take a look at. If you do what you re supposed to do, treat it as a GREAT opportunity, as it truly is, and act first, you will succeed. I have known the staff for nearly ten years, and any sort of mistreatment from them is unheard of. Well, unless it s false accusations. It takes much much more than 30-60 days to recover from an addiction, especially when there s mental health issues to daily recover from as well. They lead and YOU do the work! They support while YOU make choices for your own life. It s a respectful and kind and understanding place. Robyn runs housing like a well-oiled clock, which is a huge task with so many women and all of them having self-admitted issues. The treatment model used here is Nationally recognized. It works if you DO the work yourself. I do refer, and will always refer, anyone I know in need of their services to Meta House. Others, especially in Southeastern WISCONSIN, can t compare. I ve tried. Many with negative words or attitudes about them are probably using again right now or back in treatment somewhere, or even back at Meta House. Life saving!

This place is complete trash. Not only was there male driver touching on me, but should men be driving female women around who are in treatment & probably have very traumatic situation s happened to them. That was me! The next thing I want to talk about is the fact that they kicked me out saying I was dirty when I never was! The next thing is when I left they continue to except my packages that went there and continually told me that they weren t, but I called the places that my packages were being sent from and they had pictures of them being dropped off there. Over $500 in merchandise that they just kept for themselves. I ve called over and over and over! They never respond. I was not the only one that the driver was touching on and I m also not the only one who got their packages stolen from them. This place is a complete joke! Do not go here. So many staff have quit that place because of the things that they don t agree with that they do. Yeah it may have saved a few peoples lives but it s also ruined very many peoples lives. What a joke.

So I was in residential for about 6 months. My therapist was amazing. I didn t care for her at first but towards the end I realized how much I ve grown and become a better person because of her help. Only thing I think they need to work on is who they hire for staff. Some of the staff were amazing and some were just as bad as some of the other gossip girls in treatment. And as for the housing community I was there for 1 year and at first I had different therapist for about a month or so and then she left for a better job and I got a different therapist who I actually liked at first but towards the end I was really glad to be done with her. Also I think that they need to work on helping girls with housing resources after their time us up at housing. I was grateful to have a friend to stay with when my time was up. And luckily got my own place a month after that. Also want to shout out Cindy the front desk lady at Outpatient! She was amazing and always made my day! And the GED teacher Lashawn was amazing as well! I got my GED because she never gave up on me! And so I m grateful for being able to accomplish everything I did because of meta house but they need to work on a few things. And work on the bullying that happens in residential and outpatient from other girls in treatment. I was bullied in residential and outpatient and when I brought it up to my therapist, staff, or my peer support nothing was done. And I don t want any future girls to go through that. Other then that I m grateful for being able to do the program and become the person I am now !

After my therapist quit and I really needed to talk to smn only 8 months clean still living at their sober living community they literally told me I was too much paperwork. The peer support that lives at the SLC is available like an hour a week. They r great at having u milk the government so they get paid but really make you feel like you are just paperwork to them. Nobody cares and they make it clear which is hard for a sensitive person needing support.

This place saved my sister's life about 5 years ago. She was able to obtain full custody of her children, found a job (a job she still works to this day) and most importantly overcome her addiction to crack cocaine. She still speaks highly of this place 5 years later so I know it must be an amazing program. Recovery works if we work it. If you're reading this may God bless you and open doors that only He can open.
