Women's Residential Program

The United Community Center (UCC) in Milwaukee operates Wisconsin’s only adult Female residential substance use disorder (SUD) treatment program primarily serving Hispanic Females. The Men’s Residential Treatment Facility houses sixteen clients in a supportive, handicap-accessible space offering 24-hour care and comprehensive recovery services. Clients participate in individual and group therapy, art therapy, relapse prevention, anger management, self-esteem groups, spirituality discussions, health education, HIV/AIDS support, case management, independent living skills, and family support services. Additional program features include parenting education, recreational activities, fitness center access, resume skills, stress management, yoga, urinalysis testing, and mental health counseling for co-occurring needs. Admission is open to men who acknowledge their substance use challenges and are ready to accept treatment. Court-ordered individuals unwilling to participate are not eligible. Services are free for qualified clients, with a sliding fee scale and insurance options available.

Women's Residential Program

UCC operates the only women’s residential substance use disorder (SUD) treatment program primarily for Hispanic women in Wisconsin. The 16-bed facility offers single rooms and family suites, and women entering the program are able to bring their children (aged 10 years or younger) into treatment with them. 

All residential treatment clients voluntarily acknowledge having substance use issues and are willing to accept help and treatment to work on such issues. Individuals who are court-ordered into treatment, but who do not want such services are inappropriate candidates and will not be enrolled into UCC's program.

There is no fee for residential treatment services for eligible, qualified clients. For those who do not qualify for free services, there is a sliding fee scale based on client income as well as insurance coverage for clients with appropriate coverage. Contact us at (414) 643-8530 for more information.
