About Milwaukee Detox Center
Milwaukee Detox Center, a division of the First Step Community Recovery Center, provides residential detox services in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The facility provides detox services for alcohol and various drugs such as cocaine and heroin. They also help individuals who are addicted to a combination of alcohol and drugs or multiple drugs, which is known as polydrug abuse. The center’s certified services include residential intoxication monitoring and medically monitored residential detox.
When a client arrives, they can expect to receive 24 hour care. They’ll work with a team of healthcare professionals that will include substance use counselors, physicians and nurse prescribers.
As clients go through detox, staff members will employ evidence based treatments to help support recovery. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is used to help patients challenge their irrational thoughts to change their behaviors and cope with difficult emotions better. Dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) is also used to teach clients how to control intense emotions, improve their relationships and reduce self destructive behaviors. Milwaukee Detox Center counselors are trained in these therapies as well as other evidence based approaches such as acceptance commitment therapy.
This approach focuses on increasing the client’s motivation to change while also accepting their existing thoughts and feelings. A great thing about Milwaukee Detox Center is that they also employ prize incentives to encourage patients to comply with treatment plans. Before patients are discharged, they provide them with information about therapeutic communities in their area. These houses are residences that help to support a patient’s continued abstinence and develop new, healthier behaviors.

Levels of Care
Medically 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.
Inpatient
Aftercare
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.

Treatment
Alcoholism
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.
Drug 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.
Dual 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.
Opioid 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
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.
Clinical Services
Family 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.
Individual 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.
