In 1982, Nova opened its doors as the first residential treatment center in Wisconsin. Located in Oshkosh, it is almost halfway between Milwaukee and Green Bay. It has 20 beds and serves approximately equal numbers of men and women. For persons unable or unwilling to return home after 28 days, we offer our Terra program. With 20 beds, it is a supportive, therapeutic community, offering the client the opportunity to establish a work record leading toward independent living.
