Milwaukee’s First Step Recovery Center to close by year-end, ending detox services and cutting nearly 100 jobs after losing county funding.
A Milwaukee alcoholism treatment center, First Step Community Recovery Center, will close by year-end 2025 after losing funding from Milwaukee County, resulting in nearly 100 job losses.
The closure includes the shutdown of its detox center, affecting 45 full-time and 40 part-time staff, with only a few remaining to manage the wind-down.
No union represents the workers, and there are no job bumping provisions.
This marks the third mass layoff in Wisconsin during October 2025, amid ongoing challenges in sustaining community health services.
