Substance Abuse Issues In Oconomowoc And Waukesha County

An increase of overdose deaths across the United States has been attributed largely to fentanyl, a strong opioid drug that can be fatal in small amounts. On at least three separate occasions, police officers in Waukesha County were exposed to fentanyl during a traffic stop and experienced nearly immediate symptoms.

One deputy lost consciousness after a cloud of fentanyl was released from a container that she shook. The others were not directly exposed to the drug—they were only near it, yet they all had to be administered Narcan (naloxone) to reverse the effects.

Waukesha County hopes to reduce the overdose deaths caused by fentanyl by identifying risk factors and providing education to residents. Monthly naloxone trainings are held in Oconomowoc and Waukesha. These trainings teach individuals how to tell if someone has overdosed on opioids and how to administer naloxone to them. Participants are given a free dose of naloxone for emergency use.

Finding The Right Treatment Program

While the Oconomowoc area has numerous drug and alcohol rehab centers, finding the right treatment program may require traveling. There are many quality treatment centers in Wisconsin and surrounding states, and they all do things a little differently. Since there’s no single cure for addiction, choosing the program that best fits your needs is important to treatment success.

Leaving home during addiction treatment also allows you to focus more fully on recovery, rather than living in a distracting environment that may trigger substance use. For more information on alcohol and drug rehab centers in and around Wisconsin, contact a specialist today.
