Referral for Care
Participants may be referred to Lakeside Recovery from a physician, therapist, or self-referral. During the initial assessment process, all participants discuss desired changes they would like to make in their life and throughout recovery.
The first step in recovery is cleansing the body of substances through detoxification. This process may take place at a North Central Health Care detoxification program on the Wausau Campus, or a primary care or general hospital.
For more information, questions, referrals, assessments and admissions, please contact the Lakeside Recovery Referral Coordinator, Monday - Friday, 10am - 4pm: 715.848.4483.
