<p><strong>ABOUT WOMEN’S RECOVERY JOURNEY</strong></p> <p>One of 35 programs run by Family Services of Northeast Wisconsin, a nonprofit human services agency <strong>in operation since 1899</strong>, Women’s Recovery Journey is an <strong>intensive outpatient program (IOP) for women and their families</strong> who are affected by substance use disorder and/or <a href="http://www.recovery.org/topics/dual-diagnosis-recovery/" target="_blank">co-occurring mental health disorders</a>. Located two blocks from the Fox River in central Green Bay, the center is among the <a href="https://wwwdasis.samhsa.gov/webt/state_data/WI17.pdf" target="_blank">42.9 percent</a> of rehabs in Wisconsin that operate as private nonprofits. Services are available only to <strong>women who live in Brown County</strong>.</p> <p><strong>TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT</strong></p> <p>Potential clients must over the age of 18, resident in Brown County, and in need of treatment for alcohol or drug misuse. <strong>Pregnant women receive priority treatment.</strong> Treatment begins with an assessment of the client's mental health and addiction status, as well as the resources they can draw from during treatment.</p> <p>The goal of the IOP is “to help women recover from their addiction and become better able to care for themselves and their families.” As such, the program is <strong>tailored to treat the specific needs of women in recovery</strong> — in particular, the center notes the large proportion of women in addiction who have suffered physical and/or sexual abuse. The bulk of programming is provided through <strong>group therapy, conducted three times a week.</strong> Families are also invited to attend therapy, educational groups, and <strong>multi-family support meetings.</strong></p> <p>As clients progress through treatment, they gradually taper their attendance, to twice a week, then once a week. This tapered level serves as the program's <a href="http://www.recovery.org/topics/extended-recovery-programs/" target="_blank">aftercare</a>.</p> <p>The program coordinates with other community agencies to provide wraparound care.
