CleanSlate Centers - Milwaukee

They are set up for 1 level: outpatient. Of the 8 centers within 14 miles of Milwaukee, 2 offer a bed.

No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Milwaukee, under a mile away.

Their programs are for adults from 26 to 64 and young adults from 18 to 25. The group you sit in is usually built around the age band, which in Milwaukee can mean one group rather than several.

They prescribe buprenorphine and naltrexone. Medication and counseling together is the standard of care for opioid use rather than an either or, and not every place near Milwaukee offers both.

There are 8 more within a short drive of Milwaukee, so this does not have to be the only call you make.

Aftercare is whatever holds the weeks after a program ends, and it is the part people most often skip. Alumni programs exist at many centers and are usually free to people who went through them. Ask what the discharge plan looks like before you choose the program.

They are the same treatment delivered at different intensities, and the intensity is what you are choosing. Intensive outpatient care at several hours a day is closer to a residential program than to a weekly appointment. Call (844) 822-5800 and someone can walk through which level fits before you start ringing centers.

A short list: id, insurance, medications, clothes, and the phone numbers you would not want to lose. A notebook and a couple of books are allowed almost everywhere and are worth more than most of what people pack. Sort out who has your keys, your mail and your animals before the day itself.
