MENTAL HEALTH & SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER

MENTAL HEALTH TREATMENT ONLY

OUTPATIENT care involves health or mental health care within the community. What this generally will look like is you will go to a provider for your visit, which might include seeing a prescriber for medication, a nurse for a check-up, or another professional for counseling or help. They work with you to create your recovery plan.

INPATIENT care means you are admitted to a hospital on a doctor’s order. In general, inpatient care usually involves a short hospital stay, but can be long-term depending on what you need.

MAT Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) is the use of FDA-approved medication, usually in combination with therapy and recovery supports, for the treatment of opioid addiction or substance use. Physicians prescribe a medication based on a patient’s specific medical needs and other factors.

RESIDENTIAL treatment (sometimes called rehab) is a live-in health care facility providing therapy for mental health and/or substance use.

COMMUNITY SUPPORT includes services that provide education, linkage, and case management to you, your family, and other important supports in your life so that you can learn to manage your symptoms and live as successfully and independently as possible. Services include skill-building tools for daily living, education about mental illness and medication, development of community sup-ports, and case management/service coordination.

THE QRT TEAM PROVIDES CONFIDENTIAL HELP FOR

OPIOID OVERDOSE SURVIVORS BY CONNECTING THEM

TO TREATMENT & RECOVERY SUPPORT SERVICES.



WITHIN 72 HOURS OF AN OVERDOSE REPORT, QRT WILL:

10

Warning Signs of Alcohol Abuse* Abdominal pain * Making excuses to drink* Confusion * Nausea and vomiting* Drinking alone * Need for daily or regular use of alcohol to function* Episodes of violence with drinking * Neglecting to eat* Hostility when confronted about drinking * Not caring for physical appearance* Lack of control over drinking * Secretive behavior

* Shaking in the morning

Warning Signs of Substance Use* Cycles of being unusually talkative, "up" and cheerful, with seemingly boundless energy* Increased irritability, agitation, and anger* Unusual calmness, unresponsiveness, or looking "spaced out"* Apathy and depression* Paranoia and delusions*Abnormally slow movements, speech or reaction time, confusion, and disorientation* Sudden weight loss or weight gain* Cycles

11

Tolerance

Tolerance develops when someone uses an opioid drug regularly. Their body becomes used to the drug and needs a larger or more frequent dose to continue to experience the same effect. The brain adapts to the exposure, allowing the person to use more or a stronger dose without the respiratory system failing.

Loss of tolerance

Loss of tolerance occurs when someone stops taking an opioid drug after long-term use. The longer a person is opioid-free, the more the brain will attempt to adapt back to its normal state.

When someone loses tolerance and then takes an opioid drug again, they can experience serious adverse effects, including overdose.

Most opiate overdose deaths occur in persons who have just gone through withdrawal or

detoxed. Because withdrawal reduces the

person’s tolerance, those who have just gone through withdrawal can overdose on a much

smaller dose than they used to take.

What is MAT?

(Medication-Assisted Treatment)

Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) is the use of FDA-approved medication, usually in combination with therapy and recovery supports, for the treatment of opioid addiction or substance use. Physicians prescribe a medication based on a patient’s specific medical needs and other factors.

Effective medications include:

• Buprenorphine (Subutex, Suboxone)• Naltrexone (Depade, Vivitrol)• Methadone

KNOW YOUR RISK FOR AN OPIOID OVERDOSEProvided by the Medication-Assisted Treatment Collaborative of Hancock County

Who is at risk for an opioid overdose?

12

Project DAWN (Deaths Avoided With Naloxone) is a community-based overdose education and naloxone distribution program that was created as a way to combat Ohio’s opioid overdose epidemic. Naloxone (also known as Narcan) is a medication that can reverse an overdose caused by an opioid drug (heroin or prescription pain medications). When administered during an overdose, Naloxone blocks the effects of opioids on the brain and quickly restores breathing.

It takes less than 30 minutes to obtain a kit that could save a life. Attendees learn to:

• Recognize the signs and symptoms of overdose

• Distinguish between different types of overdose

• Perform rescue breathing

• Call emergency medical services

• Administer intranasal Naloxone

The kit includes:

• 2 - 4mg doses of Narcan Nasal Spray

• 1 pair of nitrile gloves

• 1 face shield

• 1 educational DVD

• 1 educational booklet

Obtaining a Project DAWN kit:

With the passage of HB 170, the kits may be dispensed to the individual with addiction, as well as a family member, friend, or loved one.

You may obtain a naloxone kit for free through Hancock Public Health's Project DAWN program. Walk-in's are accepted, however, it is preferred that you schedule an appointment in order to ensure a staff member will be available to complete the education and distribution with you.

If you would like to schedule an appointment or would like more information, contact:

Gary Bright, Injury Prevention Coordinator / [email protected] / (567) 250 -5151

or visit The Ohio Department of Health's Project DAWN Website

Project DAWN kits are free. Donations are accepted but not required.

WHAT ISADDICTION?Addiction reflects the

highest level of progression of a

substance use disorder.

WHAT IS RECOVERY?Recovery is a process of change that permits an individual to make

healthy choices and improve the quality of his or her life.

• Like other chronic diseases, addiction involves cycles of relapse andremission. Without treatment or engagement in recovery activities, addictionis progressive and can result in disability or premature death.

• There are many pathways to recovery. Individuals are unique with specificneeds, strengths, goals, health attitudes, behaviors and expectations forrecovery.

• Pathways to recovery are highly personal, and generally involve a redefinitionof identity in the face of crisis or a process of progressive change.

• Furthermore, pathways are often social, grounded in cultural beliefs ortraditions, and involve informal community resources, which provide support forsobriety.

ADDICTION & RECOVERY

Compiled by the Hancock County Opioid & Addictions Task Force - Updated January 2020

Addiction is a treatable, chronic medical disease involving complex interactions among brain circuts, genetics, the envionment, and an individual's life

expectancies. People with addiction use substances or engage in behaviors that become more compulsive and often continue despite harmful consequences.

Prevention efforts and treatment approaches for addiction are generally as successful as those for other chronic diseases. - ASAM, 2019

16

Language is powerful – especially when talking about addictions.Stigmatizing language perpetuates negative perceptions.

“Person first” language focuses on the person, not the disorder.When discussing addictions...

HOW TO SUPPORT SOMEONE IN RECOVERY

• Don’t judge. Many people in recovery feeljudged by their family and friends. Acceptthem for who they are and refrain fromcriticism and negativity.

• Be patient. Recovery can be a long,complicated process. People often havesetbacks. It’s important for them to know thatyou support them when things get tough.

• Reinforce that recovery is possible. Like otherchronic diseases, people can manageaddictions successfully.

• Actively listen. Take notice of your loved one’svictories and struggles.

• Encourage healthy habits. Cooking,exercising and playing games are all positive,substance-free activities you can do with aperson in recovery.

• Suggest a support group. Support groupsallow people in recovery to interact with andreceive encouragement from others whostruggle with addiction.

• Continue to offer encouragement and

support. Emphasize that it takes a lot ofcourage to get help for an addiction.

• Take care of yourself. Take time to participatein activities you enjoy. Spend time with others,or consider joining a support group for friendsand families of people with addictions.

TIPS FOR TALKING WITH A LOVED

ONE ABOUT SUBSTANCE USE

• Treat the person with respect and dignity.• Talk with them in a quiet, private place when

both of you are sober and calm.• Try to understand the person’s own perception

of their substance use. Ask if they believe theirsubstance use is a problem.

• Consider the person’s readiness to talk abouttheir substance use.

• Do not force the person to admit they have a problem.

• Express your point of view by using “I”statements, like “I have noticed…” or“I am concerned…”

• Identify and discuss their behavior rather thancriticize their character.

• Let the person know that you are concernedand willing to help.

• Listen without judging the person as bad/immoral.

• Do not label or accuse the person of being an“addict.”

• Have realistic expectations for the person –learning to manage a brain disease takes time.

Creative Expressions

Creative Expressions can help connect people in all stages of life or

during recovery to that inner healing voice. Creativity can be explored

through a variety of artistic ways. Common methods include, but are

not limited to: drama, dance, music, creative writing, the visual arts

and photography. All these activities engage the participant/artist in a

process that uses a holistic health framework to access physical,

mental, spiritual and social well-being. Creative Expressions can be

used to express thoughts and feelings that perhaps are too big or too

complicated to put into words. The benefits of Creative Expressions

can last a lifetime.

Emotional Recovery/Wellness

Emotional Wellness implies the ability to be aware of and

accept our feelings rather than denying them, having an

optimistic approach to life and enjoying life despite its

occasional disappointments and frustrations. When people

change their lifestyle, like giving up substances, it may still

be difficult to obtain and feel happiness in sobriety. It can

be tough to handle their emotions without substances.

Working towards emotional wellness, while this may take

years to accomplish, it can lead to a greater happiness in

life.

Stress Management

Some people experience stress so frequently, they are

unable to recognize it. This is troubling because it means

the individual could be suffering the consequences of

chronic stress without them knowing. Once the individual

recognizes that they are suffering from stress it is helpful

to try to deal with it. There are many options for doing this

with relaxation techniques such as exercising, proper

nutrition, yoga, meditation, spirituality, and a supportive

living environment which can be great for coping with

stress.

Meditation

Ranging from practices associated with specific religions or beliefs to

methods focusing on physical relaxation, meditation is one of the

most popular techniques to achieve physical and mental relaxation.

There are many different methods of meditation which can be learned

on your own. Mediation involves centering and focusing your

innermost self, quieting your mind, emotions and body. This

meditative state can be achieved through structured or unstructured

activities. Meditation can be learned from meditation teachers, books,

and even online tutorials.

Medication Assisted Treatment

Many diseases and disorders have medicinal options for treatment,

whether you have problems with how your kidneys function or if you

are a person who experiences problem substance use. Medication

Assisted Treatment (MAT) is a valid pathway to recovery for some

and should not be discounted as trading one addictive drug for

another. MAT can help people manage their addiction to help

maintain recovery.

Spirituality

It can be difficult to understand what has happened to us in our lives

and find some sort of meaning behind the circumstances. Even though

we may be in recovery from problem substance use and/or mental

health problems, we may need something more to help us achieve

overall wellness. When we feel challenged, overwhelmed, or even

excited about an upcoming new direction we’re about to take, having a spiritual foundation may help in many ways. Spirituality can help

connect us to a community, gives us a sense of purpose and

groundedness, or help us feel humble as part of something greater.

Fitness

Exercise can be a method to compensate for stressors.

Physical exercise not only promotes overall fitness, but

also helps to manage emotional stress and tensions as

well. Exercise can also aid in relaxation and improve

sleep quality. It can remove you temporarily from a

stressful situation or environment. Being fit and healthy

also increases your ability to deal with stress as it arises

and creates a sense of physical wellbeing.

Pathways to Recovery

Nutrition

Proper nutrition and hydration are vital to the substance use

healing process because they help restore physical and mental

health. Proper nutrition helps people feel better because

nutrients give the body energy, help build and repair organ

tissue, and strengthen the immune system. Healthy and

nutritional food can be used to feel better physically and

mentally which can reduce the risk of relapse.

Become a Recovery Guide!Are you a person or family member in recovery who wants volunteer?

What is a Recovery Guide?A Recovery Guide is a volunteer who supports and promotes recovery by helping people remove barriers

and build recovery capital. Basically, Recovery Guides are people who want to help others find and

maintain recovery. Recovery Guides share their knowledge, strength, and hope to help people find their

own strengths and pathway to recovery.

Who can be a Recovery Guide? Volunteers can be: • Individuals with personal lived experience in recovery from a mental health/substance use/trauma

• A family member of someone impacted by a mental health/substance use/trauma

Recovery Guides are individuals who have sustained recovery for themselves or their family. Recovery

Guides are required to complete an application and training to gain the skills and knowledge needed to be

a Recovery Guide.

What does a Recovery Guide do? A Recovery Guide may be matched one-on-one with a participant in the program and commits to

spending at least one hour a week with that participant. The Recovery Guide and the participant work

together to help the participant begin or maintain their recovery.

Recovery Guides also volunteer at FOCUS to interact with peers, lead classes, teach skills, or just listen.

They are present throughout the community, providing peer-based support to those who need it.

Why should I volunteer as a Recovery Guide?Volunteering has many positive benefits! As a Recovery Guide, you would have the opportunity to:

• Learn new skills

• Share your knowledge and experiences with others

• Network within the community

• Develop personal and professional skills

• Give back to the community

• Have a positive impact in Hancock County!

How do I get involved?For more information, or to apply to become a Recovery Guide, call or stop by FOCUS.

If you’d like to volunteer but don’t think being a Recovery Guide is right for you, contact us. There are a

hundred ways you can volunteer. We’d love to meet you!

FOCUS provides peer-led support and resources to help people improve their health and wellness, live a

self-directed life, and sustain their recovery.

Addiction is a disease that

affects the whole family.

Have you ever lied to cover up for their

mistakes?

Made up excuses for their bad behavior?

Shut yourself out from the rest of the world?

You’re Not Alone is a support group for

families who have been affected by addiction.

We offer a safe place for you to share your

story. By sharing with others who understand,

you will begin to find serenity among the

chaos.

You don’t have to go through

this alone!

Meetings:

Sharing is Healing

Our meetings are anonymous so you can

safely share your story. The important thing

is that you reach out for help so that you can

begin to heal. Peace can be found in the chaos

of a loved one’s addiction.

By taking care of yourself first, you will have

more energy and strength to help your loved

one in their battle with addiction. You can’t

make someone enter rercovery but, you can

find a place of understanding and peace for

yourself while you wait for that day to come.

Like our loved ones, we need to find recovery

for ourselves. It does take work, but the

results are worth it.

GOD

Grant me the serenity to

accept the things I cannot

change.

The courage to change the

things I can.

And the wisdom to know the

difference.

Who will be a qualified individual, and what are minor drug possession offenses?

Qualified individuals are individuals that: seek assistance for another individual that experiences a drug

overdose; experience a drug overdose and seek assistance; and experiences an overdose and become

the subject of another person seeking medical assistance.

What are the responsibilities of qualified individuals to receive immunity?

Qualified individuals must comply with peace officers and get a behavioral health screening within 30

days of the overdose.




The 9-1-1 Good Samaritan law provides immunity

from minor drug possession offenses for qualified

individuals that make a good faith effort to obtain

emergency medical assistance during an overdose.
