WI Addiction Helpline Celebrates Five Years

The Wisconsin Addiction Recovery Helpline is celebrating five years of service.

31-thousand calls, texts, and chats have been received and answered since it started in 2018. The free, anonymous service is supported by grants from the Department of Health Services to decrease drug overdoses.

The Helpline has referred nearly 79-thousand people to substance use agencies for counseling, inpatient care, medication-assisted treatment, and other services since it began.
