Residential Treatment

 

We’re glad you are here

The CORE difference in residential treatment.

CORE Treatment Services was founded because we believe in hope and promise for people who want something better than the destruction of substance use disorder. People who need residential treatment – something more than a sober living facility or recovery meetings.

At CORE Treatment Services we are committed to walking alongside each person as they start their recovery journey and as they progress, we will continue by going the extra mile.  We will help people find the residential and day treatment options, emotional tools, social connectedness, and employment opportunities for rebuilding their lives.    

The Begining

Core Treatment Services began as a nonprofit, 16-bed residential and day-treatment AODA (Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse) treatment center that provides evidence-based treatment to individuals who struggle with substance abuse and/or co-occurring mental health conditions.

The Evolution

Today, CORE Treatment Services provides 36 gender-specific beds, with 16 beds for women and 20 beds for men. 

CORE is a preferred provider for over 9 counties across Wisconsin with a focus on excellence in evidence-based residential treatment. 

The Why

CORE Treatment Services was founded because we believe in hope and promise for people who want something better than the destruction of substance use disorder. People who need residential treatment – something more than a sober living facility or recovery meetings.   

Residential Facilities

Structured for Excelence

CORE Residential Treatment offers a structured environment with a daily schedule of activities and therapies. This structure includes individual counseling, group therapy sessions, educational workshops, and recreational activities, all aimed at promoting stability and focus on recovery.

Holistic Healing

CORE emphasizes holistic healing, integrating physical health, mental health, and spiritual well-being. Expect to participate in activities like mindfulness meditation, fitness programs, nutritional counseling, and possibly art or music therapy. These holistic approaches support your overall well-being and recovery journey.

CORE offers educational sessions on topics such as relapse prevention, life skills, and stress management. These sessions are designed to equip you with the knowledge and skills needed to maintain sobriety and navigate everyday challenges.

Helping people isn’t just a job for me, it’s a calling. As a Marine Veteran, I know firsthand the power of resilience, and I bring that same tenacity to my work in mental health and addiction recovery. My journey started with a passion for understanding people, which led me to earn my Master’s in Social Work with a focus on substance use and mental health treatment.
From leading dynamic group sessions to working one-on-one with clients navigating life’s toughest battles, I strive to create a space where people feel heard, supported, and empowered. Whether we’re tackling addiction, anxiety, or life transitions, my goal is to help you break free from what’s holding you back and build the life you deserve.
