The Salvation Army Adult Rehabilitation Center in Milwaukee, Wisconsin provides free, faith based long term residential addiction treatment in Milwaukee for adults seeking recovery from alcohol or chemical dependency.
While the center integrates counseling, spiritual direction, work therapy and life skills development, its six-month residential recovery program remains the central focus. This structured environment is designed to help residents rebuild stability, purpose, and a foundation for long-term sobriety.
Residential Recovery Rooted in Faith and Structure
The flagship program at The Salvation Army Adult Rehabilitation Center is a no-cost residential recovery program where participants live on-site in safe, structured housing that includes meals.
The program primarily serves men from across Wisconsin including those who are homeless or have lost the ability to provide for themselves due to substance dependency. It takes a holistic focus on physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being but it is not a medical detox or acute care setting.
Residents can expect a consistent daily schedule that blends work assignments with recovery classes, individual and group counseling, and spiritual or church services. The program emphasizes accountability, practical responsibility and employment readiness through work therapy tied to Salvation Army operations.
Many graduates describe the experience as life-changing for sobriety, job skills, and family restoration, while some note that strict rules and the evangelical nature may feel intense.

Supportive Services and Cost-Free Access
