Next we hear from Sheila Weix, Director of Substance Abuse Services For Family Health Center of Marshfield Clinic.
12 organizations in north central Wisconsin have formed what is called the Hope Consortium, designed to help battle the growing opioid addiction problem in this region. The Hope Consortium has a new website and toll-free telephone number designed to get people to help with opioid addiction problems.
WXPR's Ken Krall talked with Weix about the effort...
The website is hopeconsortium.org or toll-free 844-305-4673(HOPE). Weix says she wants to remind people that people do recover from opioid addiction and there's hope.
