Comprehensive, Multi-Level Treatment
Aurora Psychiatric Hospital in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, offers a full spectrum of behavioral health and addiction services for children, adolescents, and adults. Treatment addresses depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, ADHD, PTSD, and substance use disorders. The hospital provides multiple levels of care, including inpatient, residential, and outpatient programs, each focused on stabilization, healing, and long-term recovery through individualized treatment and integrated medical, therapeutic, and educational support.
The Dewey Center: Residential Care for Recovery
Aurora’s Dewey Center offers a 28-day residential program for adults, combining clinical expertise with an atmosphere of respect and collaboration. Treatment draws on motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and community reinforcement techniques to help individuals build motivation, strengthen relationships, and develop coping skills. Complementary offerings such as yoga, mindfulness, and exercise promote physical and emotional well-being, while spiritual guidance supports personal growth throughout recovery.
Lifespan Behavioral Health and Ongoing Support

The hospital’s Kradwell School provides individualized education for students managing behavioral or emotional challenges, ensuring academic continuity alongside care. After treatment, Aurora’s alumni and volunteer programs foster community engagement, connection, and lifelong recovery support, helping individuals and families sustain progress long after formal treatment ends.
Structured Programs for Every Need
Aurora’s continuum of care includes inpatient hospitalization for crisis stabilization and detox, partial hospitalization for structured daytime therapy, and intensive outpatient programs for flexible ongoing support. Each program is led by a multidisciplinary team who tailor care plans to the individual’s medical needs and recovery goals. This coordinated approach helps ensure safety, consistency, and a smooth transition between levels of care.

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.
