Koinonia Residential Treatment Center

Koinonia Residential Treatment Center in Rhinelander, Wisconsin works with adults in a wilderness setting to treat them for alcohol and drug addiction. If you or your loved one are suffering from addiction to alcohol, benzos, stimulants like cocaine or meth, or opioids, they can help you recover. They’re a licensed treatment center with a campus that has 35 beds that sits on a 3 acre plot. They are coed but they do some gender specific groups.

If you decide to attend this program, you will stay on campus and follow a structured schedule. Your day will be filled with therapy groups, support groups, relapse prevention and wellness activities. Therapy groups include group, family, and individual sessions.

They have a special emphasis on education for the family members of people who attend this program that I find commendable. They set the expectation that the family of someone with an addiction will also have to make changes and they support family in making those changes.

They also have someone on staff who specializes in native and indigenous culture. If you have native heritage and want to integrate cultural and spiritual practices into your healing, they may be a good choice for you. They also have a sweat lodge and a smudging area.

They have more positive than negative reviews and many of their positive reviews are enthusiastic five star reviews. Those who had a good experience found the staff helpful and found what they learned useful in keeping them in recovery.

They accept limited insurance. They are likely out of network for most plans, but since they are a licensed treatment facility, you may be able to get some help if you are insured. You would want to talk to your insurance company ahead of time to determine what help they can give you. They don’t take Medicaid.
