Wisconsin DOC Approval to File Petition for Determination of Eligibility for the Substance Abuse Program is a process that allows individuals to submit a petition to the Wisconsin Department of Corrections (DOC) for consideration of eligibility for their Substance Abuse Program. The DOC will review the petition and, if approved, the individual will be able to participate in the program. The program is designed to provide individuals with the necessary resources to address their substance abuse issues and to assist them in their recovery. The Wisconsin DOC Approval to File Petition for Determination of Eligibility for the Substance Abuse Program is divided into two main categories: Medical Necessity and Financial Eligibility. For Medical Necessity, the individual must submit a statement from a licensed medical professional that states the individual has a substance abuse disorder and is in need of the program services. For Financial Eligibility, the individual must submit financial documentation that shows they are unable to pay for the program services. Once the DOC has reviewed the petition and approved the individual for the program, they will be able to access the services provided and begin their journey to recovery.
