A Structured, Supportive Conversation That Opens the Door to Recovery
WHAT IS AN INTERVENTION?
An intervention is a carefully planned and structured conversation where family members, friends, and an experienced interventionist come together to encourage an individual to seek treatment for substance abuse. This process aims to help the individual recognize the impact of their addiction and accept professional help in a supportive and non-judgmental setting.
Goals of an Intervention:
Break Through Denial: Address resistance to treatment and open the door to recovery.
Supportive Approach: Offer a loving, non-blaming environment that fosters acceptance.
Immediate Treatment Options: Present clear, actionable paths to treatment.
Firm Boundaries and Consequences:Set healthy boundaries to encourage a willingness to seek help.

In 2025, Wisconsin continues to face a serious substance use and overdose challenge across urban and rural communities. Recent reports show a modest decline in overdose deaths statewide, yet the crisis remains acute, particularly with fentanyl involvement.
Urban centers like Milwaukee and Madison report high rates of opioid-related fatalities, while rural counties often encounter limited treatment access and longer travel distances for care.
According to Wisconsin Public Radio, overdose deaths fell by approximately 10 % in April 2024 compared with the same period in 2023, a promising signal for state public-health leaders.
Provisional data from the CDC indicate Wisconsin saw one of the largest declines in overdose deaths in the country, with reductions of 35 % or more in 2024.
At Crosswell Interventions, we support families throughout Wisconsin from Milwaukee and Madison to Green Bay, Kenosha, and smaller rural towns providing expert, clinician-led interventions tailored to each region’s unique dynamics and challenges.
Emerging Substance Use Trends in Wisconsin
Understanding local substance-use patterns is crucial for effective interventions. In Wisconsin:
Fentanyl and synthetic opioids continue to dominate overdose fatalities, appearing in the majority of toxicology reports.
Polysubstance use, such as stimulants mixed with opioids or fentanyl, is increasingly common, complicating treatment and intervention strategies.
Alcohol misuse and prescription medication dependency remain significant barriers to recovery, affecting both urban and rural populations.
Crosswell Interventions designs each intervention with these trends in mind, ensuring plans address both the specific substances involved and family-system dynamics.
