How to Find Drug & Alcohol Rehab Centers & Support

Start Your Recovery works with leading experts in effectively treating substance use issues to offer people a single source of relatable, reliable information at any stage of their recovery journey. StartYourRecovery.org provides helpful information for people who are dealing with substance use issues — and their family members, friends, and co-workers, too.

They know that there is no one-size-fits-all solution to the challenges faced by those who misuse alcohol, prescription or illegal drugs, or other substances, and we aim to break through the clutter to help people at any stage of recovery.

The goal of SYR is to offer people who are dealing with substance use issues a single source of reputable, objective information about signs, symptoms, conditions, treatment options, and resources — presented in a user-friendly format and in language that’s easy to understand. First we ask: “Why doesn’t someone offer access to these resources in one place?” Then we ask: “Why don’t we?”

15 free treatment programs. 35 inpatient drug & alcohol rehab centers. 197 outpatient. 37 drug & alcohol detox centers in Wisconsin. 5 luxury residential. Sort for top accredited addiction rehabilitation in Wisconsin.
