Good morning,
The water at DanaCare had to be turned off due to work on Sheridan Road in front of the entrance. The Office will be closed until the water is able to be turned back on. Due to the cold temperatures this week we are unsure how long this will take. Appointments are still available, appointments can be made via phone, website, or your patient portal.

Treatment is real, and it works!

"Addiction is a treatable, chronic medical disease involving complex interactions among brain circuits, genetics, the environment, and an individual’s life experiences. People with addiction use substances or engage in behaviors that become compulsive and often continue despite harmful consequences.

Prevention efforts and treatment approaches for addiction are generally as successful as those for other chronic diseases."

-Adopted by the ASAM Board of Directors, September 15, 2019

Today is National Fentanyl Awareness Day.

Last year over 70,000 Americans fatally overdosed on illegally made fentanyl. Fentanyl is pressed to look like popular abused substances like Xanax, Adderall and Percocet. Fentanyl is cheap and highly addictive making it ideal for street use. There is no way to properly check a substance for fentanyl without dissolving the drug which ruins it. Even if you check one pill you still do not know what the other pills contain. If you have 20 min and have been curious how the brain reacts to opioids and why fentanyl is so deadly and addicting check out this video. If you are ready to stop, I am here.

Alcohol Awareness Month

Alcohol slows down brain activity, raises blood pressure and heart rate, affects coordination and prevents physical control.

How does alcohol affect your brain?

*Interferes with the communication pathways.
*Causes brain damage.
*Kills brain cells, leads to vitamin deficiencies that impair brain function and prevents the liver from filtering out toxins that will accumulate in the brain.
*Influences coordination, decision making, and memory.
*Can cause altered personality and violent/aggressive moods, difficulty thinking, learning, remembering, and problems controlling impulses.

Long Term effects may include:

* Kidney disease * Atrial fibrillation
* Stroke * Cardiomyopathy
* Diabetes * Heart failure
* Anxiety * Cirrhosis
* Depression * Cancer(s)
* Dementia * Pancreatitis
* Hepatitis * Alzheimer's disease
* Osteoporosis * Multiple sclerosis,

Standard Drink
12 oz beer
8-9 oz of malt liquor
5 oz of table wine
3-4 oz of fortified wine
1.5 oz of distilled alcohol (that's one shot of hard liquor)

The average man can hold about 2 oz of liquid in their mouth at one time. Average women about 1-1.5 oz.

How fast does alcohol affect you?

Alcohol reaches your brain in as little as 5 minutes and starts to affect the body in as little as 10 minutes. After about 20 min the liver starts to process alcohol. The liver can process about 1 oz of alcohol per hour.

1-2 standard drinks begins to impair your mood, balance, coordination, impulse control, memory, and impairs decision-making.

If you have questions regarding alcohol use disorders or interested in learning about treatment options, please visit www.mywellnessandrecovery.com or call 262-455-7047.

April is Alcohol Awareness Month. Let's start with this. One person in Wisconsin dies or is severely injured every 3 hours from alcohol impaired driving.

When you think about alcohol does cancer come to mind? It should.

Women, drinking even small amounts of alcohol is linked to an increased risk of breast cancer!!! Why? Alcohol can raise estrogen levels in the body putting you at a higher risk.

There are at least seven different types of cancer that are connected to drinking.
*Breast
*Colorectal
*Esophagus
*Liver
*Mouth
*Throat
*Larynx (voice box)

Wisconsin is ranked the worst state in the country for excessive drinking.

Would you like to know how much Wisconsinites drink? If you take everyone in Wisconsin 14 years old and older they would consume over 3 gallons of alcohol each.
