About WestCare – Harambee Community Center

WestCare provides substance use and mental health care for youth and adults in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. They have multiple programs that offer assistance to help guests overcome addiction and find a path to maintain their sobriety.

WestCare works with most health insurance providers including Medicaid, Medicare and Military Insurance. They also offer a sliding scale system for those without insurance coverage.

Flexible Treatment Plans

WestCare understands that recovery takes time and that each person is unique with various obligations and responsibilities. They provide outpatient programs that work with busy schedules, which allows for more balance.

The community engagement center provides a warm, welcoming atmosphere where clients meet others on the same path to lifelong sobriety. They can engage in sober activities and form lasting friendships with people who understand their challenges.

Support for Veterans

Their outpatient program also specializes in helping veterans. They provide the addiction and mental health support these members need to overcome past traumas and thrive in a healthy lifestyle.

Youth Programs

One of their featured services includes prevention programs for adolescents. They offer education and mentorship to help prevent youth from using drugs and alcohol.

Practical Assistance

WestCare understands that the first few months following treatment may be daunting, so they offer life skills training that can help with daily tasks, coping skills to manage emotional regulation, and relapse prevention techniques.

I also noted they provide individual therapy sessions in a secure space where guests can express themselves and work through the underlying conditions that may have led to substance use.

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.

Addiction Treatments

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.

A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track.

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.

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.

Young Adult Program

Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.

Clinical Services

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.
