Transitions Center

Transitions Center operates as a state-certified outpatient addiction treatment facility in Rhinelander, serving Wisconsin's Northwoods region. This recovery center provides comprehensive substance abuse treatment for alcohol addiction, drug addiction, and gambling addiction, functioning as an essential resource for the area's recovery community. Located on North Pelham Street, the center maintains extended weekday hours to accommodate working individuals and families seeking addiction treatment.

The outpatient program specializes in dual diagnosis treatment, addressing both substance abuse and co-occurring mental health disorders simultaneously. Treatment approaches include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and EMDR, with particular expertise in trauma-focused CBT for clients dealing with PTSD, complex trauma, and grief. Individual psychotherapy and couples counseling form the foundation of their therapeutic services, while specialized AODA counseling targets alcohol and other drug addictions directly.

Transitions Center's treatment philosophy centers on addressing underlying trauma and mental health conditions that often fuel addiction. Licensed clinicians utilize mindfulness practices alongside traditional therapy methods, recognizing the connection between trauma, mood disorders, and substance abuse. The center's approach to dual diagnosis treatment acknowledges that lasting recovery requires treating both addiction and mental health conditions together rather than separately.

The recovery center serves children, adolescents, adults, couples, families, and women throughout Oneida County and the broader Northwoods area. Four Licensed Professional Counselors, including specialists with Substance Abuse Specialist credentials, provide treatment services. Sliding fee scale payment options make addiction treatment accessible to community members regardless of financial circumstances, while aftercare and continuing care support helps maintain long-term recovery connections.
