Alcohol And Drug Abuse In Pewaukee And Waukesha County

Waukesha County is an area of Wisconsin that has significant rates of excessive drinking as well as hospitalizations for opioid overdose. The county offers free trainings each month that teach citizens to use naloxone (Narcan) to reverse an overdose. Several lives have been saved by naloxone in the last two years, but the rates of abuse and trafficking have not decreased.

In November 2018, a Milwaukee man was arrested in Waukesha County and charged with selling heroin at the local Farm and Fleet store. But addiction often begins more innocently than a street deal. Many people become addicted to heroin after being prescribed an opioid painkiller. For this reason, Waukesha County is one of many that are involved in a lawsuit against pharmaceutical companies that market these drugs.

Is It Better To Travel For Treatment?

Some individuals travel for treatment outside of their hometown, county, or state. This usually requires them to enroll in a residential program, which is the most effective type of care for most people. Residential, or inpatient, drug rehab centers provide a therapeutic community in which a person is surrounded by like-minded individuals with similar goals.

A support system is vital during recovery. The home environment is not always supportive, either because family members also struggle with substance abuse or they do not know how to help the addicted individual. Traveling for treatment can help a person in recovery to find a safe, healing environment that meets their unique needs.
