Pauquette Center for Psychological Services
About Pauquette Center for Psychological Services
Outpatient counseling at Pauquette Center for Psychological Services treats addiction and mental health together. It’s a rehab center in Portage, Wisconsin, that sees teens from age 12 for addiction counseling and from age 14 for mental health treatment. The center also offers gender affirming care.
Insurance and Evening Visits
I appreciate that the center accepts Medicaid and BadgerCare, Medicare and TRICARE West, along with commercial plans from Anthem BCBS, Optum, Humana and Health Partners. A discount is applied when you pay on the day of the appointment.
Medication services are included from advanced practice nurse prescribers on the team, so that counseling and the prescription stay in one practice.
Appointments run Monday through Friday, and Wednesday and Thursday evenings are offered for scheduled visits, so you can keep a job and still be treated. Every provider there offers telehealth, so where you live in Wisconsin doesn’t determine whether you can be seen.
I also found that the Portage office is where Pauquette started in 1965, and it’s one of eight locations the practice runs across South Central Wisconsin.
Amenities
Taking time away from a demanding corporate job to attend drug rehab may seem impossible, but executive drug rehab programs combine cutting edge addiction treatment with executive amenities like Wi-Fi, access to computers, and conference calling so you can take care of your health and stay on top of business.
There are many pathways to recovery and some journeys take a more labor-intensive approach, by attending a farm-based drug rehab. Farm life has many parallels with recovery: it requires constant tending, nurturing, and creating the conditions necessary to thrive. The benefits of a farm program include learning new skills, building a recovery community, peer support, and contributing to a greater ecosystem.
Addiction Treatment Programs
Adolescents and children get counseling here, and the age line differs by service: 12 and older for AODA treatment, 14 and older for mental health care.
