The best way to serve a community is to be part of it.
How can a community come together to tackle addiction head-on? In this engaging episode of 'Recovery Unscripted', host David Condos sits down with Kristina Clark and Alex Windings from the Count It! Lock It! Drop It! initiative to explore this very question. Based in Coffey County, Tennessee, this program is all about empowering local coalitions to make a real difference in the fight against prescription drug abuse.
Kristina and Alex share their experiences and insights, highlighting the unique ways communities can unite to create effective solutions. They discuss how diverse groups—from healthcare providers to local businesses—can collaborate to build a robust plan for change. The initiative’s success, backed by organizations like the DEA and Blue Cross Blue Shield, underscores the power of community action. However, Kristina and Alex remind us that there's still work to be done.
They advocate for reducing stigma and changing policies, especially in how healthcare professionals talk about substance use disorders. They also emphasize the need for everyone in the community, from pharmacists to veterinarians, to get involved. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in grassroots efforts to combat addiction and build healthier communities.
