Meta House

This place saved my sister's life about 5 years ago. She was able to obtain full custody of her children, found a job (a job she still works to this day) and most importantly overcome her addiction to crack cocaine. She still speaks highly of this place 5 years later so I know it must be an amazing program. Recovery works if we work it. If you're reading this may God bless you and open doors that only He can open.

Meta house has a team approach. The ENTIRE staff, clinical and support, gives such energy and effort to help you move through the mud and fog that addiction leaves you in. When I arrived I was in a complete state of apathy and despair. Working with my therapist there and attending the various groups(while participating, it helps a lot????) I opened up to have acceptance and understanding how my addiction works. They gave me this four letter word I haven't had before, HOPE!! It has awoken the part of me that was in a state of non-existence. I owe my life to them for had I not went through with it, I KNOW I would not be here today. They don't rush you out in 28 days like so many rehabs. I was in inpatient for 6 months, and after 3 decads of living in destruction of not only myself but.my family and the community around me. Thank you all at META because each and EVERY one of you had a positive impact on my decision to adapt, and THRIVE without using drugs and alcohol. So thankful, Valerie Keiller

Meta House has saved my life, and more than once. I chose to go there a second time as I knew the work I had to put in personally would be required of me there, and knew that not being treated as if there was something ‘wrong’ with me was especially important to me to get through and over such a shameful time in my life. It makes me very sad to see others who had negative things to say about Meta House; whether it be their residential, sober bridge housing, or outpatient treatment. They make it clear that you are in charge to make the decisions for yourself in your recovery process… and that they will not do it for you. Nor will they give in to complaints about something that has been proven to work for so many others. I found that when I had issues accepting the way things work there- residential or sober housing- it was something wrong in me that I, personally, needed to take a look at. If you do what you’re supposed to do, treat it as a GREAT opportunity, as it truly is, and act first, you will succeed. I have known the staff for nearly ten years, and any sort of mistreatment from them is unheard of. Well, unless it’s false accusations. It takes much much more than 30-60 days to recover from an addiction, especially when there’s mental health issues to daily recover from as well. They lead and YOU do the work! They support while YOU make choices for your own life. It’s a respectful and kind and understanding place. Robyn runs housing like a well-oiled clock, which is a huge task with so many women and all of them having self-admitted issues. The treatment model used here is Nationally recognized. It works if you DO the work yourself. I do refer, and will always refer, anyone I know in need of their services to Meta House. Others, especially in Southeastern WISCONSIN, can’t compare. I’ve tried. Many with negative words or attitudes about them are probably using again right now or back in treatment somewhere, or even back at Meta House. Life saving!
