Care Assessment

A 1.5 hour session to learn how our program works and determine your most appropriate level of care. This appointment can often be scheduled the same day so you can start your recovery journey without dela

Your First Provider Appointment (if medication is needed)

During this comprehensive 60-minute appointment you and your provider will create an individualized treatment plan tailored to your needs. Your same day prescription will be sent to your local pharmacy.

Begin Support with Therapy and Groups

We offer individual, family, and group therapy. For the first month you will attend weekly counseling with one of our specialized therapists. After that, you and your therapist can decide the frequency of your ongoing counseling.

Quick & Easy Urine Testing

Patients receiving controlled medications or addiction treatment are required to provide a urine sample at one of our collection truck sites before your next provider appointment. For your convenience, our trucks visit over 18 communities throughout Wisconsin on different days and times. No appointment is necessary—just stop by one of our locations during scheduled collection times. The process only takes 5 minutes, and all you need to bring is a valid photo ID.

At Empower Recovery, we understand the importance of privacy in your journey to recovery. We are deeply committed to protecting your personal and medical information at every step. Our telehealth platform and all our procedures are designed with the highest standards of confidentiality and security. You can trust that your interactions with our therapists, your treatment details, and all aspects of your care are handled with utmost discretion and respect for your privacy. Your safe space for healing is here, safeguarded with integrity and care.
