Victory House, LLC

Victory House is an 8-bed residential treatment center that serves persons with a primary diagnosis of Substance Use Disorders (SUDs).  Many of the clients that we serve are also diagnosed with mental disorders. Additionally, persons with SUDs also known to often experience comorbid chronic physical health conditions, including chronic pain, cancer, and heart disease.  Therefore, at Victory House we employ the “medical model” to treat our clients.

Victory House is licensed by the Wisconsin Division of Quality Assurance (DQA) under DHS 83, and certified under DHS 75.53 and DHS 75.54. Our treatment philosophy is based on the following key principles:

• We subscribe to the “medical model”, which views addiction as a complex but treatable disease that affects brain function and behavior.
• No single treatment is appropriate for everyone. Treatment varies depending on the type of drug and the characteristics of the clients.
• Effective treatment attends to multiple needs of the individual, not just their drug abuse. To be effective, treatment must address the individual’s drug abuse and any associated medical, psychological, social, vocational, housing, and legal problems. It is also important that treatment be appropriate to the individual’s age, gender, ethnicity, and culture.
• Addiction is a chronic brain disease from which recovery is possible.
• Recovery is a process of change through which individuals improve their health and wellness, live a self-directed life, and strive to reach their full potential. Even individuals with severe and chronic SUDs can, with help, overcome their disorder and regain health and social function. This is called remission. When those positive changes and values become part of a voluntarily adopted lifestyle, that is called “being in recovery.”

At Victory House we are committed to a mission of providing quality services to persons struggling with substance use and co-occurring mental disorders. We aim to empower each of our clients to achieve recovery and rehabilitation in mind, in body and in spirit. In addition to stopping drug abuse, our ultimate goal in treatment is to return people to productive functioning in the family, workplace, and community. Our promise is that we will provide to each of our clients skilled and compassionate care that is individualized to their unique needs.
