Wausau Comprehensive Treatment Center

They offer outpatient, telemedicine and detox. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Wausau has 3 other centers within 14 miles.

They detox from opioids. Coming off opioids without medical supervision can be dangerous, which is why it matters that this is one of 1 places near Wausau that do it.

They treat pregnancy and the postpartum period, which matters because withdrawal in pregnancy is managed differently and not every place near Wausau is set up for it.

They offer a telemedicine option. What that covers varies, and a first appointment in Wausau often still has to be in person.

Outpatient only, and nothing within 14 miles of Wausau has beds either, so a residential stay would mean traveling further than that.

Involvement is common, and so are limits on it, set by the person being treated. Where children are involved, some programs can keep a parent and child together and most cannot. Call (844) 822-5800 and someone can talk it through with you, whether or not you are the person in treatment.

The questions are much the same wherever you call, because every intake line is screening for the same few things. The person answering is usually trained to screen rather than to treat, so the clinical detail comes at the assessment. Ask what happens between the call and the first day, and who is responsible for each part.

A program treats your presence there as confidential by default, including from whoever is paying. There are narrow exceptions, including a medical emergency and a court order, and they are narrower than people assume.
