Burkwood Treatment Center

Burkwood Treatment Center offers quality and individualized treatment for adults affected by substance use disorders. They also address co-occurring disorders. This is when someone is struggling with both substance misuse and mental issues. This residential facility is located in picturesque Hudson, Wisconsin, close to Minneapolis and St. Paul.

Residential treatment is a great option if you’re dealing with severe substance misuse requiring intensive therapeutic intervention with 24/7 support in a structured setting. At Burkwood Treatment Center you’ll join a vibrant community of peers dedicated to the pursuit of sobriety and wellness. These peers will support you and help you learn personal accountability and responsibility. Their full continuum of care also includes intensive outpatient care and transitional living programming.

Their interdisciplinary clinical team comprises compassionate, caring and knowledgeable professionals. These experts are committed to delivering ‘whole person’ care. Their recovery approach integrates clinically proven models like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and EMDR with MAAEZ. MAAEZ is an innovative research backed approach they use to introduce their patients to AA groups and 12 Step programming.

Their recovery approach also incorporates the Way of Life programming. This employs detailed treatment manuals, audio recordings and individual and group sessions to promote lifelong sobriety through meaningful lifestyle changes. Optional family therapy is available to help you rebuild trust, mend relationships and improve communication with loved ones. This enhances your support network which helps your recovery process.

Besides the group and individual therapy, you’ll also benefit from yoga and recreational groups. The residential care can last up to 40 days and includes a comprehensive discharge plan. This normally involves stepping down to their intensive outpatient care for ongoing recovery. This program is slightly more structured and involves more therapeutic activities than traditional outpatient care. You can expect to participate in up to nine hours of group sessions weekly for about 16 weeks.

The beauty of it lies in its flexibility since it allows you to maintain your regular routine while engaging in effective treatment. Evening and afternoon sessions are available, and both are designed to fit your schedule. This fosters a balance between healing and daily responsibilities. It also lets you practice what you’ve learned in therapy daily with immediate feedback. This ongoing feedback can help you ease back into your community and daily routine. The group sessions are based on CBT and motivational interview techniques. They also offer individual counseling and 12 Step recovery.

You can take advantage of their transitional housing facility to prepare for reintegration into the community. Their sober house provides a structured, drug-free and supportive community where you can focus on your recovery, build healthy relationships and develop essential life skills. That way you’ll be well equipped for successful community engagement and sustainable recovery upon reintegration. The sober house only serves adult men, unlike their other programs. You must also be actively involved in their afternoon intensive outpatient programming to live in the house.
