Start Here

What brings you here today?

You do not need to know the right program name to take a first step. Choose the situation that sounds closest to what you need.

I need help for myself

For people worried about their own alcohol or substance use, whether they are ready, unsure, court-referred, or just tired of handling it alone.

I am worried about someone

For family members, partners, friends, caregivers, and others who need support, practical ways to respond, and help taking care of themselves too.

I have a court or citation requirement

For OWI, AODA assessments, underage citations, diversion, and other court-related or referral requirements. Required to be here? Make the hours count for something real.

I need naloxone or safer-use supplies

For naloxone, fentanyl and xylazine test strips, safe disposal kits, safer-use supplies, and the 24/7 Public Health Vending Machine. No judgment. No questions. Just the supplies you need to stay healthier.

I am not sure where to start

If you feel overwhelmed, you can start with one calm conversation instead of choosing the perfect service first. A first call can simply start with, “I am not sure where to begin.”

What We Do

Support can start before you know what you need

Assessment and Referral

Hope Council provides confidential assessments in a welcoming, nonjudgmental space for people fulfilling court, licensing-board, employer, or other referral requirements, and helps people understand possible next steps.

No-Cost Peer Support

Peer support, recovery coaching, and navigation connect you with someone who has been there, trained to listen, support, and give hope without judgment. This support is available at no cost for people in any stage of recovery, people seeking support, family members, and people unsure where to start.

Family and Loved-One Support

The Loved Ones Support Group is a free, confidential, welcoming support group for adult family members and friends. Hope Council also offers guidance for responding, setting boundaries, and staying connected when someone is not ready for help.

Risk Reduction & Prevention

Hope Council offers no-cost supplies including naloxone and fentanyl and xylazine test strips through the 24/7 Public Health Vending Machine and the front desk, along with prevention education and substance information.

Each person’s path is different

Each person’s treatment process is unique. A typical process often starts with an assessment to determine the level of treatment that fits.

Levels of care

  • Outpatient treatment.
  • Intensive outpatient.
  • Residential treatment.
  • Medication-assisted treatment (MAT), which combines traditional treatment and medications.

Detox Considerations

Some programs require detox before treatment begins, and insurance plans may have their own requirements. Detox options can include a detox facility or emergency-room support.

Stopping some substances suddenly, including alcohol and benzodiazepines, can be dangerous. Talk with a medical professional before attempting to detox on your own.

Support that does not require a program enrollment

Recovery support comes in many forms, and trying more than one option is normal.

  • Recovery coaching at Hope Council: 262-658-8166 or info@hopecouncil.org.
  • Celebrate Recovery support groups.
  • Freedom Seekers support groups.
  • 12-step support groups such as Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), Narcotics Anonymous (NA), and Heroin Anonymous (HA), with Al-Anon, Nar-Anon, and Families Anonymous for affected loved ones.

  • SMART Recovery support groups.
  • Sober-living programs.
