  • Much like other opiate drugs such as heroin and morphine, fentanyl works on areas of the brain that control pain, pleasure and emotions.
  • When consuming equal amounts alcohol, women have higher levels of alcohol in their blood than men, and the immediate effects occur more rapidly and are more prolonged.

Persons with Co-Occurring Mental and Substance Abuse Disorders - Wheeler, Wisconsin

Many treatment programs in Wheeler, Wisconsin address people with co-occurring mental and substance abuse disorders. A person who struggles with a mental disorder(s) and substance abuse needs to work through both issues at the same time. Failing to deal with the client's psychological disorder(s) during their drug treatment will leave them susceptible to relapse once they leave treatment. Problems with mood disorders, anxiety disorders and other mental disorders (schizophrenia, personality disorders, etc.) will come up once back in their day to day life. If the person does not have a handle on how to handle their mental disorder they will probably fall back into their old ways of abusing drugs or alcohol as a means of coping and self-medicating.
