To the Honorable, the Legislature:
Enclosed is the Department of Health Services' (DHS) 2008 Annual Report on Substance Abuse Programs. This report was prepared in accordance with s.
51.45 (4)(p), Wis. Stats., which requires the Department to submit to you an annual report on the treatment of substance abuse.
The report describes substance abuse prevention, intervention, and treatment programs administered by the Department's Division of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services. Substance abuse is a significant challenge for individuals, families, and communities across Wisconsin and the Department is making great strides in addressing substance abuse problems. Following are a few highlights of the successes in 2008:
•Wisconsin Epidemiological Profile on Alcohol and Other Drug Use
•DHS Health Integration Initiative Joint Statement
•The Department's continued receipt of federal grants to enhance the state's service capacity and improved the quality of services.
We are proud of our achievements, but more work is needed. We will continue to explore ways to build partnerships and support effective substance abuse programs to reach our goal of Wisconsin becoming the nation's healthiest state, and a place where our citizens can grow up safe, healthy, and successful.
Sincerely,
KAREN E. TIMBERLAKE
