Our Story

Impact Wisconsin is dedicated to serving anyone in Waupaca County or the surrounding rural central Wisconsin areas.

Impact believes that changing the way we understand and interact with addiction recovery will serve to end the stigma of substance abuse disorder and eradicate overdose deaths in our community.

Impact provides peer support to anyone at no cost by leveraging existing programs and services, and engaging those who can support our mission of reducing the effects on our community from substance abuse disorder.

Pioneering Recovery

Impact Wisconsin is pioneering several new programs dedicated to serving those most in need in our community. This includes launching two new recovery initiatives and the development of comprehensive training that will change the way we interact with recovery.
