Multiple levels of care

Areas of the country differ in how they view residential care. At Rogers, it means you live on campus during your entire treatment stay and receive intensive treatment in the same facility. While most patients enter residential treatment directly, you can also step down to residential care from inpatient care or step up from our specialized outpatient, or day treatment care.

Patients and families from across the country travel to Wisconsin for our residential care for children, teens and adults. The majority of our residential facilities are part of our Oconomowoc, Wisconsin, campus, nestled in more than 50 acres of wooded and lakeside settings in Lake Country. We also have adolescent residential care on our West Allis campus in greater Milwaukee.

You’ll find residential options for most of the areas we specialize in: alcohol or drug addiction, eating disorders, depression or mood disorders, and obsessive-compulsive disorder and anxiety.

What is residential care like?

Residential treatment is a special level of care. You or your child develop a strong sense of understanding and community with those experiencing similar challenges. Each facility or treatment space is uniquely designed, but each resident has a semi-private bedroom and enjoys homelike community spaces at all locations.

While in treatment, you’ll spend a lot of time with others in your unit, during free time or therapeutic activities, supervised meals and more. Food is included in your cost of care. With the approval of your treatment team, we can accommodate a vegetarian diet. Accommodation of other diets, such as vegan and gluten-free, varies by location.

Residential care, like all care at Rogers, is voluntary. Depending on the treatment you are enrolled in, you may temporarily leave campus to participate in therapeutic activities which support your goals. This includes therapeutic passes for family outings in the community. Family involvement is an important part of each treatment plan. Several of our child and adolescent treatments offer Parent University to help families understand and gain skills to support their loved one in treatment and recovery.

Through specialized outpatient care, you or your child may make minor adjustments in your thoughts and behaviors. Individuals in this type of care are healthy and stable enough to return to work, school or home after their regular daytime therapy sessions. At Rogers, this is our lowest level of behavioral health treatment. We offer two levels of specialized outpatient care:

• Partial hospitalization care (PHP). Insurance plans and providers use this term to describe day treatment that is several hours daily for several weeks. In some communities, this describes a program that is within a hospital setting. All Rogers’ partial hospitalization care is in outpatient centers as part of a hospital campus or in freestanding locations.
• Intensive outpatient care (IOP). This is treatment which is more intensive than many community-based outpatient programs, but requires fewer hours per day than partial hospitalization care. 

At Rogers, outpatient care is available for a wide range of behavioral health conditions, such as:

• Alcohol or drug addiction
• Anxiety disorder or obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)
• Co-occurring or multiple conditions
• Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
• Depression or other mood disorder
• Mental health and co-occurring addiction 
• Eating disorders
• Anxiety and depression in children and teens in ASD

What is outpatient care like?

If you’re attending partial hospitalization care at Rogers, you receive approximately six hours of treatment per day, five days per week. In intensive outpatient care, you’ll attend treatment sessions approximately three hours per day, five days per week. Exact days and times vary by program and location.

You’ll engage in a variety of therapies in both individual and group sessions. These therapies are proven to help reduce your symptoms. To help you receive a deeper understanding of your treatment, you may participate in experiential or art therapy.

As in all of Rogers’ care, your family’s involvement helps determine your success in treatment. Your family may be asked to participate in educational sessions or other sessions aimed at building a healthy transition into life after programming.
