MANITOWOC, Wis. -- Meeting a large community demand, Rogers Behavioral Health will open a clinic in Manitowoc, Wisconsin this fall to provide Mental Health and Addiction Recovery services.

Rogers is opening a clinic at the Lighthouse Recovery Community Center’s building located at 818 State St.

The latest available data from the Wisconsin Department of Health Services shows opioid overdose deaths continuing to rise in the state, including in Manitowoc County where such deaths increased from 13 in 2021 to 22 in 2022, indicating awareness and accessible treatment that works is more important than ever.

“Our mission at Rogers is to provide highly effective mental health and addiction treatment to help people reach their full potential for health and well-being,” says Cindy Meyer, Rogers’ president and CEO. “We are listening to community needs and responding. We are grateful to Lighthouse Recovery Community Center for making space available to us to bring our life-saving services to Manitowoc and are proud to make our proven care accessible to more people.”

Rogers’ Manitowoc clinic will help overcome barriers people may face when seeking care, including a lack of options within a drivable distance and long waitlists for treatment.  

Rogers will provide partial hospitalization programs (PHP) and intensive outpatient programs (IOP) for Mental Health and Addiction Recovery. In PHP and IOP, our programs are tailored to the individual needs of our patients. The length of time the individual will be in the program varies based on their individual treatment goals and success in meeting these goals. Our patients are involved in the treatment planning process from day one until discharge.

"Rogers is committed to improving access to mental health and addiction care. We know our Mental Health and Addiction Recovery treatment helps patients get better and can be lifesaving, especially in areas such as Manitowoc County, where we’ve found overdose rates are higher than many surrounding counties,” says Michelle Maloney, PhD, LPC, CAADC, CRPS, executive clinical director of Rogers’ Mental Health and Addiction Recovery. "We are excited to be a part of the Manitowoc community, bringing our proven treatment where it’s needed to help more people live more fulfilling lives."

"We are incredibly excited to welcome an organization like Rogers Behavioral Health,” says Jason Latva, executive director of Lighthouse Recovery Community Center. "Their mission and values align with ours in the quest to help individuals improve their lives."
