Who oversees treatment

The Wisconsin Department of Health Services, through its Division of Quality Assurance, certifies substance use treatment programs under Wis. Admin. Code ch. DHS 75.

Prescription monitoring

Wisconsin's Enhanced Prescription Drug Monitoring Program (ePDMP) tracks controlled substance prescriptions. It was established by the state Controlled Substances Board under Wis. Stat. 961.385.

Public coverage for treatment

Wisconsin's Medicaid program is administered through ForwardHealth, and it covers a range of substance use disorder benefits.

Overdose Good Samaritan law

Wisconsin's Wis. Stat. 961.443 gives limited immunity from drug possession and paraphernalia charges to a person who seeks emergency help for someone having an overdose or bad reaction to a controlled substance.

Mental health and substance use together

Depression, anxiety and trauma often show up alongside substance use, and SAMHSA data show higher rates of mental illness among lesbian, gay and bisexual adults. Treating both at once usually works better than treating them separately.

If that sounds familiar, look at LGBTQ dual diagnosis treatment.

What gay-friendly rehab looks like

Gay-friendly rehab is still rehab: detox if you need it, therapy, groups, and an aftercare plan. What changes is that your relationships, social life and identity are part of the conversation instead of something you edit out.

Using your insurance

Before you call a program, have your insurance card ready and ask three things: is the program in network, does this level of care need prior authorization, and what will you owe after the deductible. Our insurance guides walk through major carriers.
