About Roots Counseling Services LLC
Since opening in 2012, Roots Recovery has played an important role in the Milwaukee, Wisconsin sober living community. The center focuses on substance use disorder care as well as treatment for co-occurring conditions. Roots Recovery follows a holistic, strengths-based model built around 12-Step facilitation. Services include day treatment, outpatient care, and gender-specific sober living options. The day treatment program, often called PHP, works much like inpatient treatment but allows clients to go back home after the daily sessions. The IOP program is designed for people who want to maintain work or other responsibilities while still attending treatment. For those who need a longer recovery period, Roots Recovery offers sober living homes that prioritize comfort. The residences include old-fashioned style houses with warm wood floors and a fireplace, with capacity for 19 men and 9 women across the gender-specific locations.
Roots Recovery provides individualized care and a broad range of therapies, including CBT, DBT, life skills training, group therapy, family counseling, and mediation and mindfulness practices. It can be an excellent option for young adults looking for a structured, encouraging environment to build lasting sobriety. Roots Recovery is CARF-accredited and works with most private insurance plans.
