Naloxone Boxes Installed Across Wisconsin to Help Save Lives

  HORICON, Wis. Chief Joseph Adamson of the Horicon Police Department has responded to many overdose calls in his career. He now carries Narcan with him everywhere.  “You never know when you’re going to run into an opportunity to help save a life,” Adamson said.  He was excited to help install one of the first public opioid rescue kits in Wisconsin inside the lobby of his station.  “Where do we have fire extinguishers? Places open to the public. Where do we have defibrillators? Places open to the public. Where do we have first aid kits? Places open to the public,” Adamson said. Why not have this life-saving resource right next to each and every one of those resources we provide our public citizens?”

Wisconsin Expands Medicaid Coverage of Residential Substance Use Disorder Treatment for Members

New benefit becomes effective on February 1, 2021 After extensive consultation with health care providers, counties, tribes, and other stakeholders, Wisconsin will cover the treatment for substance use disorder in a residential setting for members of most of its Medicaid programs beginning February 1. The treatment offered uses a “whole patient” approach that is clinically effective, reduces overdoses and deaths, and helps people sustain recovery. Health care providers will determine whether their patients require this level of care using criteria from the American Society of Addiction Medicine. “Addiction doesn’t just affect the individual,” said Wisconsin Medicaid Director Jim Jones. “It affects their families, loved ones, and communities. The services offered under this benefit are critical to providing the most appropriate level of care for many of those dealing with severe and long-term addictions.”

Tony Evers announced today that the the Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) has awarded nearly $9 million to 23 county agencies and five tribal nations to provide treatment services for the harmful use of opioids such as prescription pain relievers, heroin, and fentanyl or stimulants such as cocaine and methamphetamine. “Too many Wisconsinites, and their friends, family, and neighbors, have experienced the tragedies of harmful use of stimulants and opioids first hand,” said Gov. Evers. “It tears apart families, impacts our kids, and has affected every Wisconsin community in one way or another. I am glad we are able to get these critical funds out the door to provide treatment and hope for so many.”
