Milwaukee Detox Center

About Milwaukee Detox Center – Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Milwaukee Detox Center, a division of the First Step Community Recovery Center, provides residential detox services in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The facility provides detox services for alcohol and various drugs such as cocaine and heroin. They also help individuals who are addicted to a combination of alcohol and drugs or multiple drugs, which is known as polydrug abuse. The center’s certified services include residential intoxication monitoring and medically monitored residential detox.

When a client arrives, they can expect to receive 24 hour care. They’ll work with a team of healthcare professionals that will include substance use counselors, physicians and nurse prescribers.

As clients go through detox, staff members will employ evidence based treatments to help support recovery. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is used to help patients challenge their irrational thoughts to change their behaviors and cope with difficult emotions better. Dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) is also used to teach clients how to control intense emotions, improve their relationships and reduce self destructive behaviors. Milwaukee Detox Center counselors are trained in these therapies as well as other evidence based approaches such as acceptance commitment therapy.

This approach focuses on increasing the client’s motivation to change while also accepting their existing thoughts and feelings. A great thing about Milwaukee Detox Center is that they also employ prize incentives to encourage patients to comply with treatment plans. Before patients are discharged, they provide them with information about therapeutic communities in their area. These houses are residences that help to support a patient’s continued abstinence and develop new, healthier behaviors.
