Combining structured addiction treatment with practical recovery services, Living In Balance Recovery Services helps people address substance use disorder (SUD) in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Clients can attend its intensive outpatient program (IOP) while continuing to live at home and manage work or family responsibilities.

Group therapy addresses emotional regulation, while family counseling focuses on communication and resolving conflicts. Aftercare continues through follow-up counseling and support groups, with online meetings available for additional peer support.

Financial literacy classes cover budgeting and money management, while job readiness and entrepreneurship programs help clients prepare for employment and explore business opportunities during treatment.
