North Bay Lodge sits about four miles outside Madison, Wisconsin, at 3602 Memorial Drive, sitting in a quiet area with trees and nature nearby, and while it does have a peaceful feeling, the place works hard to support adults, seniors, and those eighteen or over who're finishing high school or a GED, with help for addiction and other care needs. People come and stay around the clock during primary treatment, and the facility, which works together with Catholic Charities and Hope Haven Inc., keeps things affordable by running as a non-profit. You'll find a medium-sized place here with about 25 beds, usually in studio room setups that are cozy and calm, with regular meals, access to a yoga studio for stretching and mindfulness, and help for people at many stages of addiction recovery, whether you need short-term or long-term help, or outpatient support that lets you live at home.
North Bay Lodge only allows entry after someone's already gone through detox and isn't in active withdrawal, and they let people use Suboxone if their dose is stable but don't allow prescription narcotics or benzodiazepines during care, and the staff provides medically monitored treatment for alcohol and drug addiction, including a structured weekly schedule of counseling-up to about 25 hours each week-and uses a blend of approaches like relapse prevention, 12-step programs, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and other evidence-based methods. The community has both men's and women's care programs, recognizes needs that are different by gender, and treats co-occurring mental health conditions along with addiction. For seniors and those with memory problems, they offer memory care and Alzheimer's services, plus skilled nursing and nursing home options, as well as assisted living, and a whole range of senior living services, too. After the first phase of treatment, residents can move into transitional housing on site, so they've got a bridge between being in treatment and going back into daily life, and home care is available as well.
When you look around the area, you'll see grocery stores, coffee shops, restaurants, pharmacies, gas stations, and financial services close by, which makes errands easier for visitors or those living there long-term. North Bay Lodge gives care to people from many backgrounds, being inclusive in its treatment for any gender or orientation, and the mix of therapy, one-on-one counseling, group support, marital and family counseling, and specialized plans for seniors means folks can get help that fits what they really need, all with an all-inclusive pricing structure, which helps families in planning. The place even gets good feedback from residents, with an average score of 7.2 out of 10, and it's been accredited by SAMHSA and known for a friendly service and a welcoming, quiet community feeling for those seeking to rebuild or just need a secure, steady place to recover or live.
