About Meta House

Meta House, located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin is a private alcohol and drug rehab that offers treatment for a variety of substance abuse addictions including alcoholism, co-occurring mental health disorders, and opiate addiction. They offer supervised medical treatment to safely manage withdrawal symptoms during detoxification, residential care providing long term support for addiction recovery, as well as flexible outpatient addiction therapy allowing patients to live at home while receiving regular treatment. Additional levels of care offered include partial hospitalization, relapse prevention, and recovery housing.

Specialty rehab programs at Meta House include tailored care focusing on women’s specific needs and experiences, gender-specific addiction treatment addressing unique challenges faced by men, and age-appropriate treatment for teens addressing adolescent-specific issues.

Patients at Meta House will find the residential setting creates an immersive environment promoting full engagement in recovery away from daily triggers and the private rooms that give personal space for reflection and undisturbed rest during treatment. For recreation, patients can use the yoga studio to work on active mindfulness and improve flexibility, use the meditation room to promote mindfulness during recovery, or continue education during recovery with day school.

Meta House has received accreditations from SAMHSA and the state of Wisconsin.

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.

Sliding scale payments are based on a client's income and family size. The goal is to make treatment affordable to everyone. By taking these factors into account, addiction recovery care providers help ensure that your treatment does not become a financial burden to you or your family, eliminating one barrier to care.

Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.

Addiction Treatments

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
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. Linden Oaks' Residential Stay Program offers additional support for those who may benefit from a structured living environment. A patient's stay may vary from a few days to 30 days ago. The program includes group, family and individual counseling.
aftercare iconAftercare Support
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
Individuals staying in a sober living home in Wisconsin benefit from support and friendship with others in recovery. They're also encouraged to continue rehab through support groups and outpatient treatment. Halfway house residents further benefit from increased responsibility and mutual accountability that helps them practice recovery skills. Their time at a sober living home prepares them to transition back to regular life after treatment.
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.
24-hour icon24-Hour Clinical Care
24-hour clinical care in Wisconsin is an essential safety protocol during addiction treatment. Medical staff provides treatment to address withdrawal symptoms and other health issues. Mental health professionals are available to address co-occurring disorders or other psychological concerns. Other resources may include family counselors, case managers, and nutritionists.

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.

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.

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.

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.
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.

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.

The word dialectical describes the foundation of dialectical behavior therapy (DBT). Meaning "opposite," the word refers to the treatment's focus on both acceptance and change. While learning to accept where you are and the emotions you're feeling, you also learn to grow and change to establish healthier patterns in your life.

Conflict resolution and stress are common triggers for addictive behavior. Within a group therapy setting, participants learn to practice essential skills to improve relationships, manage conflict, and reduce stress. Each of these is a crucial factor in maintaining recovery.

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.

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.

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.

Addiction treatment in Wisconsin emphasizes life skills training to help you relearn critical capabilities for day to day life. This training helps you build healthy, positive strategies for everything from self care, to career, to interpersonal relationships.

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.

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.
