Milwaukee is set to receive a significant boost to its substance use treatment resources with the upcoming launch of a new 14-bed residential recovery program by the nonprofit organization Serenity Inns. This initiative aims to address the urgent need for more treatment options for men struggling with substance use. The new facility will be located on the second floor of an office building at 4757 N. 76th St. and will encompass over 6,000 square feet of dedicated space for recovery services.
The plan to open this new program comes amid pressing demand in the community, as Serenity Inns is currently managing a waitlist of 14 men seeking treatment. The organization seeks to create a safe and structured environment where individuals can receive the help they need with around-the-clock support and supervision.
Serenity Inns has previously expanded its services, having opened another 14-bed treatment facility at 2830 W. Brown St. in Milwaukee’s Midtown neighborhood last year. This facility, located across the street from an existing 12-bed facility at 2825 W. Brown St., opened its doors to residents in mid-September of the previous year. Collectively, the Brown St. facilities are expected to serve an additional 56 to 60 men annually, further illustrating Serenity Inns’ commitment to addressing substance use treatment needs in the local area.
Additionally, the new program on 76th Street will partner with Vin Baker Recovery, another organization that is also operating within the same building. This collaboration reflects a concerted effort among local nonprofits to provide comprehensive resources and support for individuals affected by substance use disorders.
The need for such programs in Milwaukee is underscored by alarming statistics. According to the Milwaukee County Overdose Dashboard, 149 men in Milwaukee County have tragically lost their lives to drug overdoses this year alone. The increasing number of overdose fatalities highlights the critical importance of expanding access to treatment and recovery services for individuals struggling with addiction.
Serenity Inns’ leadership recognizes the pressing need for effective recovery services and is determined to make a meaningful impact in the community while helping individuals reclaim their lives from substance use. With this new 14-bed residential recovery program set to open in the coming year, the organization strives to alleviate some of the pressures faced by those on the waitlist and the broader community.
As Milwaukee continues to grapple with the challenges of substance use, initiatives like Serenity Inns’ new program signal hope for many individuals and families affected by addiction. The organization is dedicated to providing the necessary support to help men achieve lasting recovery and reintegrate into their communities.
