Wisconsin Drug Intervention Services
Only a small fraction of people in Wisconsin in need of drug rehab actually get the help they need. That is why a drug intervention in Wisconsin may be what is needed to get your loved one into a quality addiction treatment center that can really help them.
There are five major drugs of abuse that make up 95 percent of all drug rehab admissions that may require an intervention in Wisconsin. These are alcohol, opiates (mainly heroin and prescription painkillers), marijuana, cocaine and other stimulants such as methamphetamine.
Not sure if a drug or alcohol intervention in Wisconsin is right for your loved one? Call us to find out how different types of interventions can be performed to get the addict's agreement to get help.
The drug threat in Wisconsin varies by area. Of concern in eastern and central Wisconsin are the availability, distribution, and abuse of powder and crack cocaine; the increasing availability of high purity heroin; and the number of new users, particularly in the Milwaukee area. Marijuana remains the most readily available and most widely abused drug throughout Wisconsin. Methamphetamine production and use are expanding from the neighboring states of Iowa and Minnesota into northwestern and southwestern Wisconsin. Three types of organizations are responsible for most of the transportation and wholesale distribution of drugs in Wisconsin: Mexican drug trafficking organizations that transport cocaine, marijuana, and methamphetamine; Nigerian criminal groups that distribute Southeast Asian heroin; and Dominican criminal groups that distribute cocaine and South American heroin. African American and Hispanic street gangs, particularly organized street gangs such as the Gangster Disciples, Vice Lords, and Latin Kings, dominate the street-level distribution of most drugs, particularly crack cocaine.
Our drug intervention specialists are expert at addressing the situation with the addict as well as the family to help determine who shoudl be involved, how it the situation should be approached and what the best overall way would be to help get the addict's agreement to enter into a drug rehab program.
Has the addict already been to treatment before? This is a common problem. Unfortunately there are many addiction treatment centers that have very low success rates. We can help you find a more effective drug rehab program to inrease your loved one's chances at staying drug-free and get them to realize that there is a way out.
An imortant piece of information for you to have is that, contrary to popular opinion, alcoholism and other drug addiction is not an incurable disease. People become cured from this ailment every single day and never go back to using drugs or alcohol. In addition, giving substitute drugs to addicts will never solve the problem. Sure, a prescription here or there might temporarily treat the symptoms and make them feel better, but their body and mind will still be dependent on drugs to function in life and they will therefore always be looking for drugs as a solution to life's problems.
