Trauma & Sel Transformative Living - Milwaukee Recovery House

About this Recovery House

Trauma & Sel Transformative Living - Milwaukee is an adult family home in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in Milwaukee County, offering trauma-informed recovery housing.

A Trauma-Informed Adult Family Home

This residence operates as an adult family home providing trauma-informed care within a supportive, home-like setting. The population it serves is broad by design, including people managing substance use issues alongside survivors of domestic violence and sex trafficking, and residents with disabilities or behavioral health needs.

What Trauma-Informed Care Adds to Sober Living

A trauma-informed model treats substance use as frequently connected to earlier trauma, not as an isolated behavior problem, which shapes how staff respond to conflict, relapse, or crisis inside the house. That framing distinguishes this home from a standard peer-support sober house built around Twelve Step structure alone.

An Adult Family Home Model in Wisconsin

Adult family homes serve a small number of residents in a home-like setting instead of an institutional one, and pairing that model with trauma-informed, recovery-focused care gives residents both structure and a smaller, more personal household than a larger facility could offer.

Milwaukee County Recovery Housing

Milwaukee County concentrates the largest share of Wisconsin's recovery and residential housing, giving this home's residents access to outpatient providers, courts, and social services without leaving the county.

Applying to This Milwaukee Home

Admission runs directly through the operator, Trauma & Sel Transformative Living, which can speak to which populations a given opening is best suited for given the range of needs the home is built to serve.
