Kinnic Falls Executive Director Tiffany Zitzewitz provided an excellent overview of the mission of Kinnic Falls, Inc. She described it as a low intensity residental treatment facility for men recovering from Substance Abuse Disorder (SUD). Addiction to alchohol or drugs affects all ages and walks of life; men from 18 to 77 have received treatment at Kinnic Falls. In addition to the main facility just north of the UWRF campus, the organization operates a Sober House nearby. The main facility can house up to 52 patients, and the sober house facility has 8 beds. Residents are required to attend group and individual sessions. During free time, residents can pursue paid work, and many also volunteer their time to help other agencies. Patients currently come mainly from Minnesota, but work is underway to try improving Badger Care benefits to cover residential SUD treatment. An outpatient program for women is also in the planning stages. Click READ MORE to read about Tiffany Zitzewitz, and to read about a community event on December 2nd.
