Jackie Nitschke Center

Since 1973, the Jackie Nitschke Center in Green Bay, Wisconsin, has been a pillar of hope, offering comprehensive treatment for individuals and families navigating drug addiction and co-occurring mental health conditions. As one of the few facilities in Brown County treating dual diagnoses, the center provides a personalized, evidence-based approach that delves into the root causes of addiction. Their commitment extends to fostering healing, resilience, and lasting recovery for every person they serve.
