Questions people ask about Brown County Human Services Department
Is Brown County Human Services Department residential or day treatment?
They offer outpatient and telemedicine. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Green Bay has 8 other centers within 14 miles.
Can you detox at Brown County Human Services Department?

What special programs does Brown County Human Services Department offer?
They offer a program for court referrals, which not every center around Green Bay does.
What ages does Brown County Human Services Department treat?
They treat adults from 26 to 64 and young adults from 18 to 25. Anyone outside that range is worth a call rather than an assumption, and Green Bay has 8 other centers to try.
What else is near Brown County Human Services Department?
There are 8 more within a short drive of Green Bay, so this does not have to be the only call you make.
How do I pick the right place?
Anything a program will put in writing is easier to compare than anything it only says on a call. The daily schedule is the most revealing document a program holds, and most will send it on request. Ask for the daily schedule in writing rather than a description of it.
Does medication replace counseling?
It is medical treatment for a medical condition, prescribed and monitored like any other. Buprenorphine and methadone both act on the same receptors as other opioids, which is precisely why they hold withdrawal off. A prescriber is the only person who can judge which of the three fits your situation.
Do I have to tell my employer?
Treatment often qualifies for job protected medical leave, though the rules depend on the employer's size and your length of service. Where a workplace runs an assistance program it usually sits outside the management chain and keeps what it is told. Read your own leave policy before telling anybody anything.
