About Great Lakes Women’s Rehab
Great Lakes Women’s Rehab is a nonprofit organization that provides long term residential addiction treatment for women in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. With a Christ centered approach, they believe that healing from past failures or relapses and mending relationships is a core part of healing.
Former residents of the program have praised the facility for its beauty and helpful staff, with one in particular noting that their care teams helped her understand that her mental health was the root cause of her alcoholism.
Another thing we notice right away about Great Lakes Women’s Rehab is its location. They are in Milwaukee’s historic Concordia neighborhood, a quiet environment conducive to recovery. Being near local parks and community resources is a great perk that can serve as a support for your healing as you integrate these outings and activities into your recovery.
Personal Comforts in a Residential Setting
Their residential setting provides a comfortable and security environment that can allow you to really focus on your healing. There are air conditioned rooms with furnishings and televisions. Additional amenities include a fitness center, kitchenette, and access to a soccer field and gardens.
Merging Bible Study with Life Skills and Addiction Treatment
Through their residential program, you can receive counseling services and vocational training to help you land a job that’s perfect for your skillset. Your recovery process and treatment will involve helping you identify destructive thoughts and learn new tools for positive change.
You’ll be invited to participate in a daily schedule that includes Bible study, chores, and group meetings with other women who are growing and recovering alongside you. We really like all of their structured phases of healing. This supportive path is designed to guide you in every step toward lasting change.

Our Methodology
Other Forms of Payment
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.
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.

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.

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.
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.
Life skills trainings involve all the skills a person must have in order to function successfully in the world. These include time management, career guidance, money management, and effective communication. Truly successful addiction recovery is based on the ability to not only live substance-free, but to thrive. Life skills teaches the practical necessities of functioning in society, which sets clients up for success in life, and therefore sobriety.
Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.
