Doctors Peter M. Lake, MD, and Bradley C. Riemann, PhD, talk about some of the effective treatment approaches at the Child and Adolescent Center.
The treatment experience at the Child and Adolescent Center at Rogers Memorial Hospital consists of evidence-based treatments delivered by some of the nation’s premier psychiatric experts. Whether a child responds best to cognitive-behavioral therapy, experiential therapy, medication, or (likely) a combination of approaches, the treatment teams at Rogers’ centers empower every patient with tools to help them recover from their illness.
Lake: It starts with Rogers’ environment. I mean, it’s just a gorgeous, dream come true as far as having a setting that initially makes people feel comfortable.
Riemann: Cognitive-behavioral therapy is the treatment of choice for anxiety disorders, and not just anxiety disorders, but other disorders as well.
Lake: There’s a huge advantage if you can do a therapy called experiential therapy, which is basically using regular activities, regular life experiences, to augment but also sometimes just engage children and adolescents in life.
Riemann: The approaches that we use are really have been widely researched for decades. And there’s just a tremendous amount of empirical support behind what we’re doing.
Lake: Part of that starts with the family and parents feeling comfortable. And part of it is that you have some grounds and facilities, some lake front, woods, campfires, ropes and challenge course, hiking trails, because you have to play with kids. Kids have to play. And that’s how you get to know ‘em. That’s how you see how they’re doing, see them interact socially, and in a variety of settings. And we have that all right here on our campus.
Riemann: So the, you know, the pay off is just to see that difference. And to see that they now have hope. For the future. That they can go on and lead a fulfilling life.
Lake: So to be able to practice some real life, here and now, in vivo tasks really helps motivate the kids that they’re going to get better.
Michael M. Miller, MD, FASAM, FAPA, Medical Director, Herrington Recovery Center, has made available the complete set of slides from his talks at the 33rd Annual Behavioral Health & Addictive Disorders Conference.
The significant rise in the prescription, use and the diversion of opioid analgesics, has led to opioid overdose deaths being a leading cause of deaths in young people and a leading cause of accidental deaths overall in many states. How do we turn the tide, while allowing patients in need to still receive pain relief from doctors when they need it?

Using the 2011 Definition of Addiction of the American Society of Addiction Medicine as well as its historical roots, attendees will learn how addiction is not just about alcohol or other drugs, but it’s about brains; and how it’s not just about mesolimbic reward circuitry, but is about the role of other brain regions in the relationship that persons with addiction develop with sources of reward and relief.

Oconomowoc, Wis. – Rogers Memorial Hospital announces the upcoming ribbon cutting of a pair of new facilities, continuing the organization’s emphasis on phenomenal patient experiences and meeting the highest standards of quality in behavioral health treatment.
The hospital, located on a private, wooded lakeshore in southeastern Wisconsin, has built new facilities that will serve both the organization’s inpatient centers as well as children and adults in treatment at Rogers’ renowned residential treatment centers for eating disorders, chemical dependency and obsessive-compulsive disorder.
“Opening these patient-focused facilities represents a continued investment in our patient experience,” said Jerry Noll, chief financial officer at Rogers. “We’re not adding any capacity with these projects; patient privacy and safety is Rogers’ motivation.”
The new buildings were constructed to blend 21st century amenities with the hospital’s historic charm, and will replace current facilities, some of which are located in one of the hospital’s original buildings constructed in the early 1900s.
The experiential center features a gymnasium, fitness center, relaxation room, art therapy studio, and recreation room. The new inpatient building will replaces all of the current facilities for the hospital’s eating disorders, child and adolescent and acute inpatient psychiatric units.
The ribbon cutting marks the two-thirds completion of a $26.5 million construction project. With the opening of a $6.5 million experiential center, a $12 million inpatient hospitalization center, officials now look forward to opening a $7.5 million facility to house the hospital’s residential centers for children and teens.
Established in 1907, Rogers Memorial Hospital is a leader in personalized treatment for anxiety disorders, eating disorders, mood disorders and substance-use disorders for children, teens and adults. As a national provider of specialty psychiatry, Rogers’ treatment approach encourages self-empowerment and family involvement. The physicians at Rogers believe that healing involves the whole person – mind, body and spirit. At Rogers, a team of more than 800 professionals, led by board-certified psychiatrists, is dedicated to working with each patient to develop individualized treatment plans to achieve lasting recovery. Rogers is located on 50 acres of woods with a waterfront campus in southeastern Wisconsin.

Oconomowoc, Wis. – The medical director of the Herrington Recovery Center at Rogers Memorial Hospital has been selected to serve a second term as a director on the American Board of Addiction Medicine (ABAM) and as a director for the ABAM Foundation.
“It is a real honor to serve on a national panel with outstanding physicians from such a wide range of medical specialties,” said Michael M. Miller, MD, FASAM, FAPA. “My hope is that by serving with medical leaders like those on this board, we can promote increases in the quality and availability of addiction treatment at Rogers as well as across the nation.”
The directors lead ABAM in the formal certification of physicians as experts in addiction medicine and its efforts to advance the quality of medical care for substance-use disorders related to alcohol, tobacco and other addicting drugs, including some prescription medications. The ABAM Foundation supports the physician certification activities of ABAM and also works to establish and accredit physician post-graduate addiction medicine training programs, such as one at the UW-Madison for which Dr. Miller serves as a faculty member.
Although one in five Americans entering the health care system has a substance-use problem, there has never been a board-certified medical specialty, drawn from all areas of medicine, dedicated to treating addiction. “Physicians are often at a loss for what to do about substance use and addiction issues, and may even misdiagnose the problem,” said ABAM and ABAM Foundation President Jeffrey H. Samet, MD, MA, MPH. “We hope to change this by expanding the cadre of board-certified addiction medicine physicians across medical specialties.”
ABAM is an independent medical specialty board established in 2007 to certify addiction medicine physicians from several specialties, including emergency medicine, family medicine, internal medicine, obstetrics and gynecology, pediatrics, preventive medicine, psychiatry and other specialties. Prior to ABAM’s formation, only one medical specialty (psychiatry) offered sub-specialized training and certification in addiction.
Dr. Miller is a board-certified sub-specialist in addiction psychiatry in addition to being a diplomate of ABAM. He is on the faculty of the addiction psychiatry fellowship programs at the UW-Madison (where he formerly served as Associate Director) and at the Medical College of Wisconsin.
“Years of scientific research have proven drug addiction is a brain disease caused by biological, environmental and developmental factors — a disease which can have far reaching medical consequences. Given the proper training, tools, and resources, physicians can be the first line of defense against substance abuse and addiction–identifying drug use early, preventing its escalation to abuse and addiction, and referring patients in need to treatment,” said Nora D. Volkow, MD, Director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse.
