WisHope Recovery

WisHope has helped me get my life back. Coming through this program has been the best decision I could have made. The staff is amazing and is always there for you any time of the day. I was able to learn so much about myself and how to continue working on myself for the rest of my life. Wishope helped me to identify my triggers and then how to cope with them. This is the first time that I have ever enjoyed seeing a therapist and actually focusing on how to better my life. This is my first rehab program, and I am very happy I selected to go here. I completed the step down program, and I believe this was a huge part of helping me to learn a new daily healthy routine. I am now 7 months sober, and without Wishope I wouldn’t be able to say that!(:

I've been with the Wishope Recovery program for the last 8 months - 30 days residential, 30 days transitional, and 190 days in sober living. I spent 90 days total in programming learning about addiction, recovery, and about myself. The staff was extremely supportive and helpful at every step along the way. They have answered my questions, listened to my fears, and celebrated my achievements. I would not be where I am today if I had not been a part of this program. I tried to get sober by myself for years before stepping into the residential facility, and there I found the pathway to finding and maintaining my sobriety going forward. I am very appreciative and thankful for this program.

WisHope is the most helpful and resourceful program out there. I met a lot of great people and my counselors were outstanding. Great overall facilities and comfortable sober living. Special acknowledgment to the PRC Peter V helping me get that job out west.

I recently completed a 30 day stay at WisHope Recovery, including time at their Brodhead location, and it ended up being one of the most important experiences I’ve had. Going in, I didn’t really know what to expect. I was unsure, kind of guarded, and honestly just needed a break from everything. What I found was a place that actually gives you the time and space to slow down and think about your life and where you’re at. The Brodhead location stood out a lot to me. It’s quieter and more peaceful, which made it easier to get out of my own chaos and just clear my head. Being there helped me step away from everything and actually focus on myself for once. The staff made a big difference too. They genuinely care and they don’t just tell you what you want to hear. Some days were tough, but they were always there and they held me accountable in a way I needed. It took me a little while to open up, but once I did, things started to change. Overall I’m really glad I went. It gave me time to reset and actually think, which is something I didn’t realize I needed as much as I did.

From homelessness and on the verge of sacrificing what life i had, I took the advice of a counselor to go to a mental hospital. During my 12 day detox I was told about Wishope and that rehab may be good for me. Being open to anything different than what I had became my focal point, so I took the offer and went to Woods Crossing to start my first rehab journey in residential. I'm so grateful that I took it! That's when I got sober. It was suggested that I do the step down program which took several months. That is when I learned to be sober. I learned about myself and trauma. I learned about addiction. I also learned that my flaws weren't weaknesses, but things I just wasn't good at. Yet still a part of me that made up who I am. I have learned to respect myself, set goals that are achievable, cope with what life throws at me sober, and how to love myself and smile again. God has thankfully removed the filter that I once looked at the world thru and given me one that is filled with love, faith in something bigger than myself, and respect to myself and others. By the grace of God I am now learning to LIVE sober. And what a blessing that gift is. A BETTER WAY TO LIVE. Thank you Wishope for giving me 12 months sober and pushed me to be uncomfortable at times, vulnerable at other times without judgment, and pushing me to be better. This experience has been worth everything to me and literally changed my life!
