Ascension Columbia St. Mary’s Hospital Milwaukee

About Ascension Columbia St. Mary’s Hospital Milwaukee – Milwaukee

Ascension Columbia St. Mary’s Hospital Milwaukee Campus is located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The hospital has an ER and critical care services and offers advanced specialty services. Additionally, they offer treatment for mental health and substance use disorders (SUD).

Some additional mental health services are offered at the Ascension Columbia St. Mary’s Gateway in West Allis, only a few miles away. Ascension Wisconsin takes most insurance plans though you will need to pay any copays at the time of the visit.

Milwaukee is a beautiful city located on Lake Michigan’s Western Shore. The hospital is near the shore and less than a mile from the scenic North Point Lighthouse and park area. Because the hospital is open 24/7 and offers emergency care, individuals experiencing a behavioral health or substance use crisis can obtain emergency care.

Additionally, the hospital has comprehensive SUD treatment services that include intensive inpatient addiction recovery programs. Clients also have the option of partial day treatment programs. Because substance misuse often goes hand in hand with mental health disorders, they have behavioral health counseling services.

Not all addictions involve alcohol and drugs. One of the nice things about the addictions program here is the treatment for a full array of addictions. Whether you’re addicted to pornography, sex, gambling, shopping, or the internet, the treatment team can help.

Unfortunately, addictions and mental health challenges don’t afflict only adults. If your adolescent is having trouble with substance use, gaming, the internet, or other addictions, there are treatment programs for those under 18.

The center has physicians who specialize in adolescent medicine, including development, growth, and the overall health of teens. Your teen can get integrated care for both addiction and any physical or emotional problems that may be contributing to your teen’s lack of well being and substance use. The hospital offers comprehensive critical care, substance use, and mental health services for all walks of life.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

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

Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) are for those who want or need a very structured treatment program but who also wish to live at home and continue with certain responsibilities (such as work or school). IOP substance abuse treatment programs vary in duration and intensity, and certain outpatient rehab centers will offer individualized treatment programs.

Medically Assisted Detox

Drug and alcohol addiction often takes a heavy toll on one's body. Over time, a physical dependence can develop, meaning the body physiologically needs the substance to function. Detox is the process of removing drugs and/or alcohol from the body, a process that can be lethal if mismanaged. Medical detox is done by licensed medical professionals who monitor vital signs and keep you safe, healthy, and as comfortable as possible as you go through detox and withdrawal.

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.

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.
