Unaddressed alcohol and drug abuse and dependency takes a tremendous toll on the lives of employees and their family members; the direct and indirect costs to businesses are significant. Through the work of WIPHL, we now have proven cost-effective strategies to impact this issue that is so pervasive in Wisconsin. We owe it to ourselves to make behavioral screening and intervention services widely available in primary care practices and emergency rooms in every community.

Controlling costs for our employer members is our mission. Employers are looking for value. Behavioral Health Screening and Intervention is a value-based service. What does that mean? It means it’s worth the money we spend for it. Healthcare providers should screen for early identification of behavioral health issues and provide resources for needed intervention.
