Recovery.com Awarded $1.2 Million Grant to Expand Access to Treatment Resources in Wisconsin

At Recovery.com, our mission has always been clear: to help families and individuals find the right mental health and substance use treatment options. We’re thrilled to share that we’ve been awarded $1.2 million from the Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) to enhance access to substance use disorder treatment resources across the state. This award is especially meaningful because we were founded and are headquartered in Madison, Wisconsin.

These funds, part of Wisconsin’s share of the National Prescription Opiate Litigation settlement, will allow us to expand and improve treatment provider profiles on our platform over the next four years, with $300,000 allocated annually. This initiative represents a major step toward ensuring that everyone in need can easily find and connect with the right treatment resources.

What This Means for Wisconsin

While the grant funds will be used for outreach to treatment providers, building provider profiles, and supporting technical work, we’re going further to enhance our platform to make it even more comprehensive and user-friendly. Here’s what we’ll be working on to do that:

• Upgraded Provider Profiles – Many Wisconsin-based treatment providers lack high-quality digital imagery and enhanced profiles. We’ll be updating these profiles to make them more informative and visually engaging.

• Expanding Nontraditional Recovery Resources – Recovery isn’t one-size-fits-all. That’s why we’re adding peer support organizations, Overdose Aid Kit locations, harm reduction vending machines, mobile Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) services, 12-Step meeting locations, and clubhouses to our platform.

• Building Stronger Community Partnerships – We’re collaborating with local organizations and leaders to spread awareness about our platform, ensuring that more people know where to turn for support.

This grant allows our team to continue our mission—connecting people with the treatment and support they need, when they need it, for free. We’re excited about the impact this will have on individuals and families across Wisconsin, and we’re just getting started.
