About United Community Center – Milwaukee
Popular for its renowned Harley Davidson Museum, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, is also home to United Community Center. Established in 1979, they’re Wisconsin’s only bilingual and bicultural addiction and co-occurring treatment program for Spanish speakers, with a full continuum of care. You can access personalized approaches to meet you where you are in recovery.
One great thing I noticed is their dedication to removing financial barriers. They provide services regardless of your ability to pay, ensuring you get the care you need no matter your situation. Some services are free based on eligibility. You can also access a sliding fee scale with discounted rates.
Whether you need 24/7 ongoing support or can live at home and attend treatment, they have an option for you. You’ll benefit from a customized treatment plan with proven and holistic approaches to help you reach recovery. Group and individual therapy, case management, relapse prevention training, stress management, yoga and anger management are available.
What stands out most to me is their inclusive, culturally competent services. Every program is available in English and Spanish. They ensure you have a comfortable space where you feel appreciated and understood. You’ll benefit from an inclusive place to focus on recovery among professionals and peers who understand your background.
Their residential program for pregnant and postpartum women also stood out to me. This specialized track offers a safe, stable environment for women to strengthen their recovery skills and foster healthy family units. Along with therapy sessions you can access specialized services including childcare coordination, prenatal care coordination, primary physician referrals and case management. They create a welcoming environment for healing for you and your baby.
I also think their Fatherhood FIRE Program is great. Fathers, soon-to-be-fathers, stepfathers and father figures can participate in this track to strengthen connections with their children and improve their lives. You’ll focus on aspects of fatherhood including responsible parenting, economic stability and healthy relationships. Career advancement, job training programs, resume development and positive communication training are available.
