Cindy Suszek, LPC

Manager Rogers Behavioral Health - Herrington Recovery Center

Cindy Suszek is the full-time manager of the Herrington Recovery Center. She is responsible for the day-to-day operations and clinical supervision of the staff based on her clinical background and professional interests in addiction treatment and recovery. “I treat every person who comes to Herrington as I would want my own family treated,” says Cindy. “People come to us at a vulnerable place, often at their very lowest. It’s my job to make sure they’re empowered to give themselves over to treatment so that they can begin to live their lives again.” Among her many responsibilities at Herrington, Cindy helps coordinate the exchange of information between patients, their families and referring clinicians. “Keeping the line of communication flowing is key,” she says. “As the manager at Herrington, I keep tabs on every patient’s treatment to ensure that they’re getting what’s best for them and their families.”

More Information

Wisconsin drug rehab programs open their doors to anyone who has an addiction issue and who wants to get help for that addiction. If these centers follow statistics found in other parts of the world, the people who enter these clinics might be younger than those seen in the clinics in years past. For example, an article in the Journal of Studies on Alcohol found that the average age of drug addicts entering the hospital in 1970 was 23 years old. By contrast, an article from 2011 in NDTV.com suggests that drug rehab patients in Bangalore are, on average, 13 years old.
Customized Care
It’s true that reading about other people who have addictions might not help you learn how to deal with an addiction of your own. However, these statistics should provide you with a bit of encouragement. Programs that treat addiction are becoming more diverse, and a larger segment of the population is getting help for addiction. If you’ve been avoiding Wisconsin addiction treatment programs because you’re worried that you’re too old, too young or somehow in a minority, you might find it helpful to learn that there’s probably a customized program that’s been developed just for you.

Wisconsin also provides specialized addiction services to meet the needs of specific residents. For example, the Wisconsin Department of Health Services reports that pregnant women who need substance abuse treatment services are given priority treatment. They can even receive services while they wait for an opening in a Wisconsin drug treatment center.

Finding a Match

The Wisconsin Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services department keeps a list of all approved Wisconsin treatment centers. You might be able to look quickly at this list and find a program located quite close to your home. The program that’s closest to you might not be the best program to meet your needs, however. A targeted program that provides care just for people like you might provide you with an intensive level of help, and that program might be located miles and miles away.
