It Starts With You

Reaching out when you need help or someone to talk to isn't always easy, but it is necessary. Seeking assistance is the first step toward recovery. Early intervention and treatment play a crucial role in breaking the cycle of addiction, which can ultimately reduce the escalation of recurring issues and lessen the burden on the healthcare system. In Kenosha County, we act with compassion and open communication to encourage those in need to seek help.
