They don't really provide you with what they offer. All they did was charge me a lot of money and sent me to many group meetings.
About Jackie Nitschke Center
Jackie Nitschke Center in Green Bay, Wisconsin, provides a full continuum of care for those seeking addiction treatment. A 28-day residential treatment program, intensive outpatient program (IOP), traditional outpatient programs, and aftercare support helps ensure there is the right treatment program and support for each person on their journey to recovery. Treatment is created with the belief that addiction is a disease not a choice, and an individual struggling with this disease needs holistic support for their physical, behavioral, spiritual and mental wellbeing.
Residential treatment typically lasts 28 days. Residents are medically monitored throughout their stay. Treatment delves into the trauma and experiences that contributed to addiction and the feelings associated with the struggle of addiction. Individuals learn coping skills, healing and how to plan for a healthy future.
A step down from residential treatment, but still offering comprehensive support, is the intensive outpatient program that includes therapy three times a week. The program offers flexibility of day or evening programs so individuals can meet their community and family responsibilities while engaged in treatment. There is also a standard outpatient program that offers weekly sessions and groups to help support long term success in recovery.
They also have a recovery housing program to help individuals set life goals and create a healthy sober life and community. They learn the power of giving back and serving others while developing the skills to help themselves.
Individual, group and family therapy are all part of treatment. There are family education and recovery programs to help support the long term goals and successful sober life of individuals and those they love.
The Jackie Nitschke Center accepts most insurance and is considered in network with most plans including Badger Care plans. Be sure to check with your personal health insurance provider to ensure you are covered and so you understand what options are available to you. There is also a legacy fund to offer financial assistance if you’re struggling with the cost of treatment.

I got kicked out for no reason, stupid useless place.
Sad... I was in some legal troubles for possessing illegal substances, and I desperately needed help and was willing to go anywhere try anything. I never thought I would be able to get into this place because I always heard how expensive they are. The day I found out I was receiving a grant to receive treatment here I was ecstatic. Anyways, things were great while I was there I was sober and life was looking great. They do have rules about not bringing anything but a water bottle upstairs into your assigned room. I never denied bringing juice in my water bottle to my room. I did break the rule of only water in the rooms. Anyways, I forgot about the juice in my water bottle because I put it in my assigned closet on the shelf after rushing to clean my room in the morning. So, two or three days pass and the staff decided to do a complete shake down of the entire building, which they are allowed to do and I had no issue with them doing.(you sign paperwork your first day saying they could search at anytime and that they have your permission.) While searching my assigned area they came across my Gatorade bottle that had the juice in it. Immediately they shoved it in my face and said "smell it". Then she looked at my roommate and shoved it in his face and said "smell it". She then asked if it smelt like anything and i said "old apple juice". She then looked at me rudely and said "alcohol!!" I almost laughed until I realized this became a very serious situation. Staff was claiming that I was either making alcohol for myself or for one of the other residents receiving treatment there. I was 16 days into my 28 day program and I was doing great. The day before this happened I was voted for "most progressed" for the week and today I am being accused of putting everyone at the house at risk of relapse because I was brewing alcohol in my water bottle. Immediately they gave everyone a breathalyzer test and a urine drug test. Nobody was positive for anything at all. The staff closed the door talked for a minute and when the door opened all I heard was "you cannot stay here tonight, can you find someone to pick you up?" and immediately started calling my probation officer to let her know. Now life was not so great. I felt like all the work I just put in to my sobriety was snatched away over some false allegations. Every time I drive past or see the building I get sick to my stomach because I know how heartless the higher up management really is. The resident assistants were great but upper management is sickening. Also, I do not understand how they can charge somewhere around $15,000 to participate for 28 days. Most of there treatment is sending you on walks to attend A.A. groups. Where does all that money go cause I couldn't figure out how they came up with the pricing. REDICULOUS!!!!!!!!!!
They are not serious about helping you. They are truly there just for the money. Avoid at all costs!!

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.
Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.
Military members, veterans, and eligible dependents have access to specific insurance programs that help them get the care they need. TRICARE and VA insurance can help you access low cost or no cost addiction and mental health treatment. Programs that accept military insurance often have targeted treatment focused on the unique challenges military members, veterans, and their families face.
Addiction Treatments
Levels of Care
Outpatient 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 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.
Intensive Outpatient The Jackie Nitschke Center is pleased to offer an effective treatment program that doesn’t mean giving up the patient's job or disrupting your life. Their Intensive Outpatient program includes 18 group therapy sessions, held in the evenings. The IOP program includes: assessment, treatment, planning and goal setting, individual and family counseling, group counseling and 12 step meetings.
Aftercare 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.
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.
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 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.
Programs
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.
Clinical Services
Individual therapy offers you a tailored approach to treat drug addiction. This focuses on your unique needs and offers you personalized support outside of a group setting. You begin to understand what triggers your addictive behavior and develop coping skills that can support your recovery.
During couples therapy, you will engage in activities that promote forgiveness, healthy communication, and understanding. You'll receive "homework" to practice these skills during the week between sessions. Couples therapy typically lasts around 12 weeks.
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.
