I'm Cindy, and I am Jason, and our story begins with addiction to opiates and heroin. As a couple with two small children we found ourselves in deep trouble and addiction. All of our money was going to purchase illegal substances and we felt very guilty but yet helpless. We did love our children but Child Protective Services was contacted and we were very worried about losing custody of our children. Four months after choosing medicated assisted treatment at AMS of Wisconsin our lives have improved greatly and we are on the road to a healthy life for both of us and our children. We want others out there suffering from addiction to know that there is hope and your life can get better.

My name is Jeremy and I am a carpenter and a heroin addict. I love the outdoors, working, fishing and hunting in it. My addiction was causing me to lose everything that I really cared about. I nearly lost my job and I wasn’t hunting and fishing any more and my family life was suffering greatly. My best friend told me about AMS of Wisconsin and that medicated assisted treatment could work for me. I started my treatment and felt like there was hope for me again. I have since told a few of my friends about treatment because the same things were happening to them. I know several people who have started out with an injury and taking a drug prescribed for them and ended up with a heroin addiction never thinking this could possibly happen to them.

Hi , my name is Courtney and I am a junior in college and addicted to heroin. I have been using heroin for several years and college is getting harder. I am not sure the coursework is harder. I think it is my addiction that causes me to lose focus. It was time for me to get help and I went to AMS of Wisconsin for medicated assisted treatment and have gotten my life back. I go to school and work and even have a little time for fun. For me it is 6 months clean of opiates and I feel so much better.
