About Attic Correctional Services Inc – Madison
Attic Correctional Services is a residential drug and alcohol addiction recovery program for adults in Madison, Wisconsin who are involved in the criminal justice system. They provide residents an alternative to prison or jail and offer intensive addiction recovery support as a condition of their jail diversion. The cost of your care may be covered in full or in part by public funds, donations, and financial aid. Their mission is restorative justice.
You may enter their halfway house after you leave incarceration or rehab or you may go there instead of being sentenced to imprisonment. You’ll have a lot of structure, support, and supervision and you’ll be required to abide strictly by all the house and program rules in order to avoid going or returning to jail.
This is probably going to include significant mental health care and individual, group, and maybe even family counseling to help you get to the root of your problems. You’ll learn to understand and resolve the past traumas and the emotional and psychological factors that might have contributed both to your criminal behavior and your substance addiction.
You’ll also learn critical life skills to help you build and maintain a sober lifestyle and to become a productive member of your family, community, and the workforce. They place a major emphasis on job readiness and you’ll be expected to get your education, learn a marketable trade, or find and maintain a steady job and a stable home. The good news though is that they’ll help you at every step of that process to make sure you’re able to support yourself, have a healthy and substance free place to live, and are unlikely to fall back into the patterns that got you into trouble with the law in the first place.
Their Kipling Street location is also called the Schwert AODA Treatment Center.
