Aurora Psychiatric Hospital – Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Aurora Psychiatric Hospital, located in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, offers comprehensive behavioral health services, including inpatient psychiatric care, substance abuse treatment, an intensive outpatient program (IOP) for mental health, and a partial hospitalization program (PHP) addressing both mental health and substance abuse. These services are available to adults, children, and adolescents, providing targeted support at each stage of recovery.

Operating on the disease model of addiction, Aurora Psychiatric Hospital provides structured and supportive inpatient care designed to foster a safe and comfortable environment for recovery. Medical detox, combined with prescription medications when needed, assists patients in eliminating substances from their bodies, managing cravings, and maintaining a stable recovery. Through both group and individual therapy, patients work on cultivating healthy coping skills, reducing psychological dependency, building a robust support network, and enhancing relationship skills to strengthen overall well-being.

For those with opioid use disorder, Aurora offers a specialized program beginning with a three- to ten-day partial hospitalization program, followed by an intensive outpatient program that meets three hours a day, three days per week, with sessions available in the mornings and evenings. This program also includes regular check-ins with a psychiatrist and individual therapy, providing a customized approach to recovery tailored to individual needs.
