<p><strong>ABOUT MILWAUKEE RESCUE MISSION</strong></p> <p>The Milwaukee Rescue Mission (MRM) is a <strong>Christian-oriented</strong> nonprofit working to alleviate homelessness in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Through its New Journey program, MRM provides <strong>residential treatment</strong> services to <strong>homeless men</strong> struggling with substance use disorder. The organization also has a similar program for homeless women with or without children called Joy House, however services are not addiction-specific.</p> <p><strong>TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT</strong></p> <p>The New Journey program is largely modeled on <strong>work therapy</strong>, with clients receiving on-the-job training and personal mentorship. <strong>Education</strong> also plays a large role in treatment; clients may participate in computer-based and instructor-led education programs, take <strong>GED preparation and testing</strong>, and receive educational support and financial or legal guidance. </p> <p>Clients also participate in <strong>Bible study groups</strong> and can receive <a href="https://www.recovery.org/pro/articles/how-addiction-can-interfere-with-your-job-performance/" target="_blank">assistance in securing employment</a> and housing. MFM is <a href="https://wwwdasis.samhsa.gov/webt/state_data/WI16.pdf" target="_blank">one of the 81 (29 percent) Wisconsin facilities</a> to offer employment counseling or training for its clients, and <a href="https://wwwdasis.samhsa.gov/webt/state_data/WI16.pdf" target="_blank">one of the 111 (40 percent) Wisconsin facilities</a> to provide assistance in locating housing.</p> <p>Following treatment, clients may participate in a <strong>six-month transitional living program</strong> through the FOCUS program, which mostly offers Christian counseling and extensions of the services provided through the New Living program. </p> <p><strong>STAFF CREDENTIALS</strong></p> <p>There is currently no information provided by the facility regarding its treatment staff. The one alum surveyed by Rehabs.com at the time of this writing gave MRM high ratings of five out of five stars for both its staff's level of training and experience, and the quality of its lead counselor.</p> <p><strong>ACCOMMODATIONS & AMENITIES</strong></p> <p>While there is currently no information provided by the facility regarding its living arrangements and related offerings, the one former client polled by Rehabs.com to date awarded MRM four out of five stars for both its accommodation and amenities and its meals and nutrition, and five out of five stars for its level of safety.</p> <p><strong>WHAT ALUMNI SAY</strong></p> <p>The one alum polled by Rehabs.com to date gave MRM <strong>mostly positive ratings</strong>, awarding the facility five out of five stars for its exercise and leisure activities, its frequency and consistency of meetings, and its overall quality of group therapy. "It worked for me," the anonymous reviewer wrote.</p> <p>MFM also received above-average ratings on secondary sites, earning <strong>3.9 out of five stars</strong> based on 78 Google reviews<small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a></small> and <strong>4.2 out of five stars</strong> based on 46 Facebook reviews<small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-2"><sup>[2]</sup></a></small> (which the facility has the ability to edit). In a representative review, Scott wrote: "I was hungery and they fed me. I was naked and they clothed me. They preached the word of God to me amd i was saved."</p> <p>On Yelp<small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-3"><sup>[3]</sup></a></small>, MFM earned one three-star rating from a former resident named Jay. While he appreciated having food and shelter, he reported that the meals were not very good, and that the organization's faith-based principles felt heavy handed.</p> <p><strong>FINANCING</strong></p> <p>There is currently no information provided on the facility's website regarding its costs. However, MRM does note that all of its programs are funded by donors, and that nearly 90% of those donations directly benefit the organization's programming.</p> <p><small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a> <a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=Milwaukee+Rescue+Mission+in+Milwaukee%2C+WI&oq=Milwaukee+Rescue+Mission+in+Milwaukee%2C+WI&aqs=chrome..69i57j0.2027j0j4&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#lrd=0x88051bd4daa72cc7:0xe887c9c14a15c90,1,,," target="_blank">GoogleReviews</a></small><br /> <small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-2"><sup>[2]</sup></a> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pg/milmission/reviews/?ref=page_internal" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/pg/milmission/reviews/?ref=page_internal</a></small><br /> <small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-3"><sup>[3]</sup></a> <a href="https://www.yelp.com/biz/milwaukee-rescue-mission-milwaukee" target="_blank">https://www.yelp.com/biz/milwaukee-rescue-mission-milwaukee</a></small></p>
