Back in Scott County Indiana- 1st time in years. We are discussing recovery services and the future of the Syringe Service Program. Phil was living under a bridge, OD x3, and is now leading recovery efforts in the region. He says he’s proof, if you’re alive, there’s hope!

Scott Country Sheriff Goodin was an SSP skeptic, but now says it works- to protect his officers, to lower the cost for HIV care in jails (now over $100,000 a month), and to connect people to recovery. He was an amazing advocate today!

This program and Scott County will forever serve as an example that Syringe Service Programs work. These programs stop the spread of the disease, they keep people alive, and they help people find treatment. #NextLevelRecovery Full statement➡️ bit.ly/3wSpsLz

Straight from Scott County- One of my favorite harm reduction and recovery advocates, Kelly Hans, discusses Syringe Exchange Program in Scott County to end. She started the SSP and is a force. wrtv.com/news/working-f…

Terrible news, much higher than CDC originally thought. Over 93,000 overdose deaths in 2020, a 30% increase over 2019. Bad. Bad. cnn.com/2021/07/14/hea…

We have had the privilege of training residents of Indiana Dept of Corrections as #peerrecoverycoaches the past 7 days. The #strength, #knowledge, #determination of those individuals is unmatched! Excited for what’s to come #staytuned

This is my jam. Scott County- harm reduction, Sheriff's Office, THRIVE and IAIC figuring out a way to help folks stay alive. Thanks Phil Stucky and @KellyHans72 for a great day!

Each day is another chance to take a step towards #recovery. No matter how many tries it takes, sometimes it only takes one more. Remember that #YoureWorthIt and #recovery is possible. Share your story. #StopTheStigma To learn more: MarionHealth.org/worthit or 317-221-4618.

Austin, Indiana (Scott county) just voted to approve SSP! Courageously took first step to rectify county council mistake of closing county SSP. @KellyHans72 led the charge. Indiana Department of Health, THRIVE, Phil Stucky & many more showed up in spades. Leo Beletsky Zachary Siegel

This is the first confirmed report (one sample) because weed is not being adulterated with fentanyl . Period. Assuming the lab followed protocol (& there is no reason to assume they did not) this was cross contamination & should be on a billboard for legalizing weed

In June, Scott County voted to shutter its safe syringe program. Earlier this month, Austin's city council voted in favor of creating their own exchange. whas11.com/article/news/l…
