While there is no “cure” for addiction, it can be treated. With successful recovery, people are able to move on to a happier, healthier life without drugs. You can take your first step on the journey of recovery from addiction by browsing treatment listings in Wisconsin and reading reviews to find the right fit for you.
Drugabuse.com is owned and operated by American Addiction Centers (AAC). AAC is a leading rehabilitation provider, offering all levels of care from detox to sober living, including 9 inpatient facilities nationwide.
Wonderful facility on peaceful grounds. If you want to recover from your addiction - this is the place. The staff are amazing and challenge addicts when they need to be challenged. The most important thing I took away from Dewey is that only I could get myself sober and only I can make myself drink/use again. Sobriety is all about the choices WE make.
My son attended this facility twice over the last couple years. I thought they did a good job at caring for him and getting him on the first step of getting clean. They worked well with our family in teaching us about addiction so we can help him. Addiction affects the entire family, not just the addict. The only thing I think needs to change, is the length of stay should be more than 3 weeks. My son was in deep in drugs for a long time, and 3 weeks is not enough, Not even on his second time through. I believe each patient should be treated individually and their own needs, not what insurance will pay. However, the program itself is a very good program. I fully recommend it.
House managers are in recovery is a strength of the facility. There is favorability over clients
Substance abuse not only takes a major toll on a person’s life, it can end it as well. A 2016 report showed that deaths from substance abuse in Wisconsin have totaled more than 500 per year for 7 of the 8 years prior to the report.1
Like the rest of the country, Wisconsin is facing an epidemic of nonmedical use of prescription drugs like opioids (OxyContin, Vicodin, etc.) and stimulants (Adderall, Ritalin, etc.). In fact, between 2014 and 2015, Wisconsin matched the national average of people abusing painkillers like OxyContin and Vicodin, with 4% of residents 12 and older abusing these drugs.1 Wisconsin also exceeded the national average of individuals with alcohol use disorders between 2011 and 2015.2
These numbers can be extremely concerning when you consider the serious lasting physical and mental health consequences of substance abuse, not to mention the risk of deadly overdose. If you or someone you love is suffering from addiction to drugs or alcohol, don’t wait to seek help. It can mean the difference between life and death.
As you search for treatment, consider the following questions:
You might want to first call your insurance and ask about what is covered before attempting to find a program, so you’ll have realistic expectations when searching for treatment.
If you’re not sure where to begin looking and sorting through program listings seems overwhelming, you can call for help any time of day to speak confidentially to a rehab placement specialist.
Sometimes the prospect of finding and paying for treatment can be overwhelming but remember that the cost is nothing compared to the price of living with addiction. You might not think you can afford to get addiction treatment, but there are usually options for you to get the help you need. These include:
