Structured Housing Support for Stability and Independence

The Transitional Housing Program provides short- to medium-term structured housing for people working toward independence after homelessness, instability, mental health challenges, or substance use.

It’s designed for Dane County residents with a primary mental health diagnosis who need daily structure before independent living. Residents get a safe environment, 24/7 support, trauma-informed care, behavioral health services, and help building daily-living skills.

Length of stay varies with your progress and readiness. The goal is to move from instability to independence with real support, not just temporary housing.

Transitional housing isn’t the right fit if you need inpatient hospitalization, detox, or crisis stabilization — we can route you to the right program.

How the Transitional Housing Program Works

Getting started: complete the online application or contact Tellurian. Applicants must reside in Dane County and complete an assessment with an admissions counselor to determine needs and placement.

Residents receive structured daily routines, clinical and peer support, medication and symptom management, employment assistance, money-management training, daily-living skills, trauma-informed care, and therapy.

We support people experiencing:

  • Schizophrenia and Schizoaffective Disorder
  • Bi-Polar and other Depression Disorders
  • Anxiety Disorders
  • Personality Disorders
  • PTSD and Trauma
  • Mental Health Crisis
  • Various Substance Use Disorders
  • Co-Occurring Mental Health and Substance Use Disorders

The program is a licensed Community-Based Residential Facility on Tellurian’s Femrite Campus — a safe, structured, nature-centered setting built to promote recovery and independence.

Stable housing is the foundation everything else gets built on. Our team will help you take the next step toward a place of your own.

Medication Support for Opioid Recovery

Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) pairs FDA-approved medications like Suboxone®, Sublocade, Vivitrol, and Brixadi with therapy, relapse prevention, and ongoing clinical support to reduce cravings and lower the risk of return to use.

MAT works best as part of a plan, not on its own. At Tellurian it's integrated with residential, outpatient, and IOP counseling, individual therapy, group support, and recovery planning. We treat opioid use including heroin, fentanyl, and prescription opioids.

You don't have to step away from your life to get real help. Whether it's weekly therapy or a more structured schedule, we'll build a plan that fits and start with a confidential assessment.

Whether you just need more information or you’re ready to start your journey towards recovery, our Patient Services team is here to help.
