Will I Qualify for WI Assistance Programs if I Am Doing Outpatient Drug Treatment?

Question by *Astrid*: Will I qualify for WI Assistance Programs if I am doing outpatient drug treatment?
I used to work as a fulltime graphic designer, my hours have been reduced to half of what they were. I was told I may qualify for the Wisconsin FoodShare program and energy/heat assistance.

I went online to their website and filled out a partial survey which according to my income and other factors, I did qualify for food and energy/heat assistance. When I went to fill out the actual application, one qustion asked on this app was, “Are you being treated in a drug program?”

I do go to a local hospital with a pain clinic dr. who also can prescribe patients with suboxone which is used to get people off of opiates. I’ve been on the Suboxone for about 2yrs to get off of painkillers.

Will this automatically disqualify me from being able to get the assistance?

(FYI, my insurance from my job pays for the prescription and I pay for the treatment myself.) Thanks to anyone who can help!
