Residential Care in a Community Setting

5 Door Recovery offers a structured, residential program for adults 18 and older seeking recovery from substance use and trauma-related challenges. Situated in Madison’s Bayview neighborhood near Lake Monona, the facility provides 24/7 care within a peaceful, community-based environment. The program typically lasts around 30 days, with flexibility from 14 to 90 days based on individual needs and resources. Residents follow a daily schedule of therapy, wellness, and education designed to restore balance and stability.

Evidence-Based and Holistic Therapies

The program treats substance use and co-occurring mental health disorders together through evidence-based and holistic methods. Residents participate in group and individual counseling, relapse prevention, and family therapy, while experiential options, such as animal-assisted therapy, art therapy, recovery yoga, meditation, and mindfulness, help them process emotions and build coping skills. Coordination of medications for addiction treatment (MAT) and health education services supports both physical and emotional healing.

Trauma-Sensitive Design and Amenities

The facility’s trauma-informed design emphasizes comfort and safety, with calming spaces for group sessions, yoga, and art. Shared and private bedrooms, a backyard patio under a pergola, and home-like living areas with a stone fireplace and computer workspace foster both reflection and connection. Nutrition and fitness are woven into treatment, and daily routines encourage balance and accountability through on-site support groups such as Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and Narcotics Anonymous (NA).

Values-Driven Path to Recovery

As part of Catholic Charities of Madison, 5 Door Recovery extends care to adults from all backgrounds, regardless of gender identity, sexual orientation, or faith. Case management and aftercare planning begin early, helping residents connect to housing, employment, and healthcare resources post-treatment.

How we research treatment facilities

Across the site, our team has conducted over 1,000 pre-admissions calls to better understand the patient experience, interviewed facility clinical leaders, performed facility background checks, and compared our information against trusted public data sources.

Our research process begins with data from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), accrediting bodies including The Joint Commission and CARF, government licensing agencies, and other trusted sources. From there, our team conducts significant original research, including:

- Pre-admissions calls: We speak with admissions staff to get a candid picture of patient experience.

- Background checks: We review complaints from past clients, media reports, actions taken by accrediting bodies, and positive recognition from notable organizations.

- Clinical interviews: We have in-depth conversations with clinical leadership, often lasting up to one hour, that give us a better understanding of clinical care.

- Data partnerships: We ingest and analyze exclusive data that provides information about in-network insurance status, cost, and more.

Research varies by facility. Each facility profile shows which research steps we completed and when each step was last performed. Learn more about our research process and background checks.

How we evaluate treatment facilities

These data help us develop a Trust Score for each facility—a simple letter grade that helps you assess how much confidence to place in a facility based on the information available to us. Trust Score considers accreditation, operating history, notable recognition, and concerns identified during our background check. Our Trust Score is an objective rating that is never influenced by advertiser payment. Learn more about our Trust Score methodology.

Important disclaimer

We cannot guarantee the quality of treatment at any facility. We cannot independently confirm the accuracy of every data point, and some information may become outdated or change over time. A Trust Score is a starting point, not a guarantee of treatment quality or outcomes. Please contact us if you would like to update or correct facility information.
