KOINONIA

The counselors are there to hear themselves speak and wield their modicum of authority over sick people like battle axes. If you attempt to advocate for yourself or disagree with their opinion, you will be labeled and threatened with discharge. The only good things are the peers and the recovery community with whom you come into contact. I would seek any other options if you're able. Because this isn't a treatment facility, it's a highly lucrative business owned by people who also own several bars.

It’s been 11 years since my recovery started. Koinonia gave me a gift of soberity and the tools to cope with everyday short comings. Your journey begins the day you walk out the door , let God help you achieve your goals

My son just recently went to Koinonia in Rhinelander. For him, let's just say when he left he cried & was scared to leave there. This is saying a whole lot!! It was structured, a great counselor, & they kept them busy with lots of group sessions. He needed this. I suggest a Sober living housing after this, which my son refused cuz he wanted to work. The only problem I have with this Rehab is that it's only 30 days, u can't stay any longer. My son said he asked & it's 800$'s a day there after that even insurance won't cover. This just isn't right. Well, unless u are Native American & the tribe pays. But others don't have this type of money & so badly need way longer to recover. Sadly, I have my doubts for my son. He did great there but it should have been waayy longer for him. It breaks my heart when he was so very close.

Recovery is a personal journey and it's outcome is ours to choose. Is it tough, yes. Is it sometimes emotional, if you're doing it right, yes. Did we color, sure! And role played and talked and laughed- a lot!! Never once was I made to feel less than anyone. The staff at Koin showed me how to look at myself in a new light and gave me tools to build a life and confidence I had never known before. The outside recovery groups that visit weekly are as supportive and have continued to help me on my path a year later. I'm grateful to Koin and the AA and NA groups. I love going back every Sunday to meet and support the current clients and learn their stories and see their own growth! Best experience of my life!

The koin was a decent place. My counselor Amber was basically brand new but she was great. I feel like her and the guy with 80s haircut were the best but even the owners seemed like they had getting people better as a their main focus and not in business to make money. For everything you get it’s not that costly. The only complaint is that human services ordered me here instead of the VA which comes at no cost and has multiple treatment locations. I don’t think koin has anything to do with that....my hands were tied though so I made the best of it...ooo yeah and that desk lady was really awesome too
