Jeannetta Robinson House sits in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and works as a state-licensed residential treatment facility that helps people with substance use disorders, mental illnesses, and developmental disabilities, so you'll find both substance use and mental health services in one place, and while it's part of the Milwaukee Women's Recovery Center, Inc., they take men and women, young adults, older adults, veterans, military families, people living with HIV or AIDS, LGBT clients, those referred by courts, pregnant or postpartum women, and more, which covers a lot of ground for different needs. The facility runs all day and all night, every day of the year, with caregivers, a program manager, nurses, nurse practitioners, physicians, and counselors on staff, and the place can serve up to 24 residents at once, with private living spaces or bedrooms, some units with kitchenettes, and all rooms are furnished and have telephone access, cable or satellite TV, Wi-Fi, and emergency alert systems. The building is wheelchair accessible, has non-ambulatory care options, and offers help with daily tasks like bathing, dressing, getting around, and managing medicines, and there's always someone on hand for 24-hour supervision or to respond to calls, plus move-in coordination so folks can settle in more easily.
Meals get served in a spacious dining room, there's a garden with walking paths, a barber or salon, laundry and dry cleaning, housekeeping, a lounge for movie nights, an arts room, and common areas for group activities, so residents have plenty to do and don't feel boxed in, and they can count on transportation help for getting to medical appointments or community events, with parking available for those who need it. Jeannetta Robinson House covers a lot on the behavioral health side, including addiction and trauma-informed care, group and individual counseling, aftercare, case management, family counseling, legal help, job and housing support, mental health screenings, music therapy, and different types of detox for alcohol, opioids, benzodiazepines, cocaine, methamphetamines, buprenorphine, and more, so folks who need help can find what fits their needs right there. The staff use programs like cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, anger management, relapse prevention, and 12-step work, and they've got care models that fit people with two or more problems at the same time, such as both mental health and substance use disorders, with programs for everything from regular outpatient visits to short- or long-term residential stays, detox, partial hospitalization, or just day treatment.
The place can help with court-ordered treatment and services for people with behavioral addictions like gambling or food addiction, internet or social media issues, or other compulsions, and they also give advice on recognizing and getting help with addiction, understanding addiction facts and warning signs, and supporting loved ones. Residents who need medication for opioid use can stay here if they already have a prescription, and the staff coordinate closely with outside healthcare providers for physical and mental health management. People who live at Jeannetta Robinson House get care that aims to help them reclaim their lives, build skills, connect with their families again, and eventually return to living in the community as empowered, productive people. Payment help may be available, and the place accepts cash, self-payment, and federal or government funding for substance use programs.
