2-1-1 Joins Statewide Addiction Recovery Program

UW211_MarathonCty.jpgUnited Way 2-1-1's across Wisconsin are bringing their statewide network of staff and resources to support Wisconsin’s new Addiction Recovery Helpline. The free, 24/7 service is confidential and connects people struggling with substance use to local treatment services and recovery resources. Supported by the Department of Health Services (DHS), the Helpline is accessed by dialing 2-1-1 or 833-944-4673 at any time.

A brand-new website - addictionhelpwi.org - has also been launched for the service. The site now allows people to reach the helpline in four different ways (i.e., call, text, chat and online) and is another streamlined access point to the treatment services and recovery resources available. Fully focused on recovery, the new site allows visitors to access resources for signing up for insurance, browse treatment options and learn more about recovery. A guided search function is also available to walk visitors through the site’s resources.

If you, or someone you know, is struggling with an addiction, call United Way's 2-1-1 to find local resources to help.
