About West Milwaukee Comprehensive Treatment Center – West Milwaukee
West Milwaukee Comprehensive Treatment Center is an outpatient treatment center for adults 18 and up. They’re located on Miller Parkway West in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. They specialize in the treatment of opioid use disorder through medication assisted treatment (MAT) and also offer behavioral health services for co-occurring mental health disorders. They accept many different types of payment including commercial insurance, TRICARE, Veterans Affairs, Medicaid and Medicare.
Some people with opioid disorders worry that MAT may switch one addiction to another, but that’s not the case. MAT is an evidence based treatment that can help you achieve long term recovery from your opioid addiction. MAT also reduces your risk of relapsing.
The center offers several types of MAT. These include naltrexone, methadone, buprenorphine and Suboxone. You’ll start with a thorough assessment to determine which medication is suited to your situation. You’ll be able to get admitted to the program on the same day you go for your assessment, and they have around the clock scheduling seven days a week.
There’s also a therapeutic element to the program that’s important to achieving and maintaining your sobriety. You’ll work with a counselor in individual sessions to help you identify the reasons you began using substances. For many people, a co-occurring mental health disorder led to self medicating with drugs. Other people had injuries that led to opioid use to alleviate pain. There are many reasons people turn to drug use. Identifying the root cause of your substance use helps you learn better coping skills to avoid using substances in the future.
You’ll also work in group sessions. Group therapy puts you with other adults working toward their recovery. You’ll support each other and develop friendships with people who understand what you’re going through.
If you need MAT treatment and outpatient therapy for an opioid addiction, this treatment center may be a good choice for you. Former patients mentioned that the staff is friendly and the counselors are caring.
