Will I Qualify for WI Assistance Programs if I Am Doing Outpatient Drug Treatment?
Question by *Astrid*: Will I qualify for WI Assistance Programs if I am doing outpatient drug treatment?
I used to work as a fulltime graphic designer, my hours have been reduced to half of what they were. I was told I may qualify for the Wisconsin FoodShare program and energy/heat assistance.
I went online to their website and filled out a partial survey which according to my income and other factors, I did qualify for food and energy/heat assistance. When I went to fill out the actual application, one qustion asked on this app was, “Are you being treated in a drug program?”
I do go to a local hospital with a pain clinic dr. who also can prescribe patients with suboxone which is used to get people off of opiates. I’ve been on the Suboxone for about 2yrs to get off of painkillers.
Will this automatically disqualify me from being able to get the assistance?
(FYI, my insurance from my job pays for the prescription and I pay for the treatment myself.) Thanks to anyone who can help!

Outpatient Drug Treatment Programs – Outpatient Drug Treatment Programs – Carrying recovery back into daily life bit.ly (877) 903-2532 Outpatient drug treatment programs at The Recovery Place are used as an effective support for patients who have finished our residential drug and alcohol treatment programs. For some patients who have strong family support, an outpatient drug treatment program may help them continue their daily work and school lives, while still getting the treatment that they need. For others a combination of residential treatment followed by an outpatient drug treatment program is the best choice. Before coming to The Recovery Place, Greg’s life was out of control. Greg explains, “I was a heroin addict for 10 years, in and out of detox and jail. I lost my family, my friends and myself. After the residential program, I came to TRP’s outpatient program 3 nights a week.” Greg has been clean for 21 months now. By continuing his drug treatment as an outpatient, Greg gets the support he needs to continue recovering and make sure that his relapse plan is working.
