Sauk County Recovery Support Network

RSN is Sauk County's own version of the popular Law Enforcement Assisted Diversion (LEAD) program that originated in Seattle, WA. 

Why RSN?

Alcohol and drug problems are costly for our communities, our health system, and our criminal justice system. Locking people up for non-violent crimes related to drug and alcohol issues is overcrowding our jails and prisons… and mostly importantly, failing to reduce addiction.

Smart investments in health and social services through a “diversion” program are a more cost-effective way to help people achieve healthier lives.

The difference between RSN and a traditional diversion program is that the goal of RSN is to provide services to people before they get arrested and/or convicted of a drug-related crime and subsequently receive a criminal record. Criminal records can cause lasting harm, such as the inability to obtain jobs, housing, and stable family relationships.
