Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse

The Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse Unit (AODA) provides intervention, confidential assessment, diagnosis, treatment planning, education and therapeutic services to adolescents, adults, including the intoxicated driver, affected family members and others who are impacted by alcohol and/or drug abuse or addiction.

Lafayette County Human Services offers out-patient care for individuals in need of substance use disorder treatment. The treatment team treats the whole person, recognizing that addiction and mental health disorders often co-occur and the simultaneous treatment of both is essential for effective treatment. 

We know that people struggling with substance use and addiction often have accompanying mental health disorders such as depression, anxiety, or post-traumatic stress. So, we often integrate mental health counseling and appropriate psychiatric care into treatment.

Recovery from a substance use disorder is possible.  Call Lafayette County Human Services at 608-776-4800 to set up an appointment.

**Are you pregnant? Did you know? Pregnant women who are in need of alcohol and substance use treatment services receive services right away. You will receive services even if there is a waiting list…that is our commitment to you!
