WisHope Recovery Center

Integrated Care for Substance Use and Mental Health

WisHope Recovery Center treats substance use disorders alongside co-occurring mental health conditions, so clients can work on both sets of needs in one place. Programs include residential care and outpatient options, with intake screening and assessments that shape the clinical plan from the start. This structure supports people who need consistent support for addiction while also working through concerns like anxiety, depression, trauma, and mood-related challenges that can affect recovery.

Whole-Person Support With Medications for Addiction Treatment

Treatment blends clinical services with a whole-person focus on mind, body, and day-to-day functioning. Medications for addiction treatment (MAT) are available, including support for opioid and alcohol recovery, and the program also accepts clients who continue MAT through an outside prescriber. Counseling includes individual, group, and family work, with additional education and recovery-focused support that helps clients build coping strategies, reduce relapse risk, and strengthen communication at home.

Practical Stability Through Life Skills, Employment, and Housing Support

WisHope emphasizes real-world stability alongside treatment. Clients can access life-skills development, employment counseling or training, and job assistance designed to support routines and independence after discharge. Recovery coaching, mentoring, and peer support add accountability and connection, while discharge planning, aftercare, and outcome follow-up keep the focus on next steps. The program also offers recovery housing and transitional independent living support to help clients practice stability in a structured recovery environment.

Comfortable Amenities and Experiential Options That Support Regulation

The Waukesha location offers amenities that support comfort and engagement during treatment, including private rooms, internet access, chef-prepared meals, and dietary accommodations such as vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options. Clients also have access to experiential and sensory-based services, including sensory integration supports and activities that build emotional regulation and stress management. Additional features like access to nature, walking trails, a volleyball court, a bowling alley, yoga, adventure outings, and transportation assistance help clients stay connected to care and practice healthy routines.
