Drug Rehab Centers in Sturtevant, Wisconsin

I've been in treatment a few times, however the excitement I had this last time, literally the last time as claint. They say recovery is fun, now I understand

To put it simply.......They helped save my very life and taught me how to live a good life. I am in there debt.

I entered The Gateway Foundation on October 31st 1996, my life had become unmanageable up until that point due to my addiction to cocaine. Thanks to Tyrone Anderson, who was an addiction counselor there at that time, and my mother, my life took a dramatic turn. Upon entering the facility my first 10 minutes after walking through the door they took a picture of me right there at the front door,I later learned why one year later. They admitted me right in the middle of a big Halloween party they were having that night ,my first thought was,.well alright.! this place is going to work out just fine.! walked right into a party right off the street. But oh boy, what a change of mind I had the next few days. I thought I had seen all the tricks in the book after completing basic training in the military,.USAF at that ! but my experiences at Gateway Foundation for one whole year,.OMG ! I hadn't seen nothing. I thought that I had done every kind of menial chores from mopping ,and cleaning ,scrubbing ,you name it ,while going through basic training in the military,.ha ! And my drill sergeant would shudder if he had to endure what we called at Gateway during that time a 'smoking". Basically it's when you mess up or violate a rule, you are commanded to go down in the basement, right below the meeting hall, where everybody can hear you get your feelings blowed out your mind, and heart by your fellow classmates in one of the loudest, meanest super aggressive verbal reprimands you have ever had in your life,.but it does get your attention though,.LOL. I'm saying all this to say that as addicts, we sometimes endure much worse treatment on the mean streets and environments of drug and alcohol addiction, but we are not discouraged by not so friendly people out there to still acquire our drugs of choice. Thanks to the environment of peer assisted treatment I received at Gateway, it helped me face the reality of life on the streets as an addict. I'm not saying that everything worked out perfect after leaving Gateway, we all struggle through the up's and downs of recovery, it's knowing how to get back on the right track, how to stay on the right track,, where and how to seek help when we fall that's important to continuing your life of sobriety. Thanks to the educational and therapeutical experiences I received from Gateway, I can proudly say that I am a happy, successful and drug free person to this very day.and I look nothing like that admission picture from 28 years ago.I encourage all who read this ,if you or someone you know is struggling with substance abuse issues, consider getting the help you need from The Gateway Foundation, I'm thankful my family did it for me. Sincerely C.J.Robson Jr.

Roots counseling and sober living program have had a tremendous positive impact on my life. I quickly realized that being at roots means I have a whole team of amazing people that are on my side, working to help me grow. Roots laid the foundation for my recovery and guided me on the way to finding peace.

Roots was instrumental in my brother s recovery. They provided him with the tools to help him get to where he is today.

As a recovering alcoholic I have a keen appreciation for the tremendous influence of Roots on my son s sobriety and continuing recovery. It has been a Godsend.

I good experience there

Best place to get better

Inpatient is an absolute joke and needs some serious improvements and that's where the vast majority of these poor reviews come from. But as someone who spent a full 30 days in Herrington (the Addiction Recovery Unit) I can say without a doubt that they saved my life. Not all staff is perfect and the food is rarely good but other than that I'd highly recommend the Addiction and/or Mental Health unit(s). Just stay away from inpatient care.

Awesome ppl who actually care about your well being! I d recommend them to anyone struggling with addiction issues.

All of the staff are super friendly and their goal is to help you be successful. The PA listens to you carefully and he will suggest and prescribe medication to aid you to reach your goals. The counselor will work with you to set up a plan for your recovery and listens intently to you to help you reach the goals you have set. She has helped me in numerous ways to overcome anxiety issues that were blocking my path. I believe the whole staff have truly saved my life.

Such super friendly people when you go there. They treat you like family! They make you feel very comfortable..

The staff here is so welcoming and they are super friendly and easy to talk to, I've been seeing a psychiatrist and a talk therapist via tele health and I love being able to get the help I need from the comfort of my home. It added another level of comfort to the entire process and since starting here I have never been in a better mental state.

I've been going to Dr. Jay and Joel for many years. From the time I enter the clinic staff is very nice and check in is usually timely. Appointments are at scheduled time 95% of the time, which is understandable. Both Doctors are friendly and easy to talk to. Even during phone appointments . I really appreciate how comfortable they make me ofeel. I'm very happy to have them as my Psychiatric team.Thank you,Linda Trew

Dr. Winston is down to earth. He has a great sense of humor. I truly enjoy my visits. The staff is friendly and totally professional.

The people are absolutely wonderful from top to bottom! Thank you 4C for your love and care! Thank you blue clinic and Dr Sarmiento for finding my leukemia so fast! Thank you food service for helping with my mental and physical health! The mental health team has been a blessing to me!

I've been taking my brother to the VA for the past 5 years and I am here to tell you that the Milwaukee VA is excellent! Every employee we have encountered there has been top notch! The valets, front desk, speech therapist, physical therapists, occupational therapists, eye clinic, neurologist and home health care team....ALL of these people gave my brother the best care he has ever received in his entire life! I cannot say enough good things about the home health care team! Heather, Rachel, Natalie, Sadhana- the most caring people I have ever met and they made my brother's life so much better and made sure he always had the best care! They never stopped advocating for him and looking out for his best interest. We are so grateful to everyone at the VA for providing top notch care for my brother during his long illness all the way up until his recent death. Thank you to the entire staff at Clement J Zablocki Veterans Medical Center for doing such a wonderful job of caring for our Veterans. From the family of Joe Weber.

A+ care for veterans.

Such a kind and caring staff. Every single person there is awesome. I have never came across any business that I have enjoyed dealing with so much. Keep up the good work you guys and keep up the good fight

They will help you.They will always help you.Just try and get state insurance to avoid paying out of pocket.They can and will save your life if you let them.

I ve been to almost every CMS In Wisconsin due to moving/sober livings etc. started at another methadone clinic but ended up here.CMS is the only facility that I started to take my sobriety seriously and got sober. Never thought I d earn a take home. Couldn t even understand how people didn t use long enough to get one. Finally moved to the pewaukee facility and it clicked.Unfortunately not enough people were told about that clinic and it was so hidden off the road people thought it was either a bank or the church - so it closed and many of us had to go back to other facilities- such as here s(Ctc in Waukesha or CMS in west Allis)- wish they gave it more than a month and asked us patients to help spread the word to keep it open but it is what it is.I find it pretty sad that rather than closing the pewaukee facility and making those of us who got clean (from those I spoke to most of us) because we were no longer in Milwaukee county on top of support from our counselors, and our determinationI wish they would have made it mandatory - like many other facilities in Waukesha, that all the CMS patients at west Allis needed to transfer to pewaukee.I am still super happy especially because most of the staff moved over (I miss you nurse Sarah!! :( ) but it s hard to go back to west Allis, see dope men sitting in their cars, see who s strung out, etc. especially because even if we didn t have many of us at pewaukee, that was the one clinic that I saw the most amount of people with take home boxes. Every other patient I remember seeing and talking to looked so healthy, happy, and again had at least one take home.That means something was working there for us. (To me, it was having the smaller amount of patients, we were more directly worked with and could feel the care and support) I hope the people I spoke to that were worried about being back in west Allis make it through those worries and cravings.Sucks to have to drive 20-25 minutes one way again versus my 15 minute walk to pewaukee/ 4 minute drive but again, being phased and not having to come everyday makes it worth it.I just wanted to say, I love CMS period, but I wish they still had those security guards and the line is much longer than I remember it being. But the nurses and counselors and staff are all amazing I just feel like there are too many of us compared to the few amount of them, But can t win them all.I would always choose CMS over any other clinic, and I love my counselor - even those who aren t my counselors- (I m talking about you Yshonda and Jean!)Counselors like them push us to see the best in us.CMS pewaukee was a 100 out of 10CMS west Allis might not be that high but still 8/10 because of their amazing staff

Friendly staff and helpful too. The staff were super nice and explained things clearly. Oohrah union Grove.

Great!

As a FL resident now, this VA saw me while visiting Wisconsin and were fantastic. Thanks.

I've been here since I started becoming serious in my recovery and the counselors Regina (past couselor) and Darlene quite possibly saved my life. I could not have done it without them and their diligence towards recovery. They, along with CeCe the peer support specialist have given me a better quality of life and I am so thankful for them and this program.

I cannot say enough about the excellent care I have received.. everyone and I mean everyone have all been wonderful to me... I was so sick and in so much pain I didn't think I would make it.. this program literally saved my life!!! Thank you to everyone!!!!

Verry profesional and very helpful
