The initiative was brought about because of the opioid epidemic across the nation and the commonwealth, but most of all because of the substance abuse in Susquehanna County and meth and amphetamines.
Imagine facing an opioid crisis head-on in your own community. That's exactly what Susquehanna County Commissioner MaryAnn Warren is doing. In this episode of Battling Opioids's Podcast, Warren dives into the Substance Abuse and Recovery Initiative (SARI), a collaborative effort designed to tackle the opioid epidemic plaguing her county. This isn't just another meeting; it's a heartfelt call to action.
Warren shares how SARI, a joint venture between county commissioners and local healthcare providers, aims to replicate the success seen in other parts of Pennsylvania. By bringing together government, healthcare, and community organizations, this initiative provides much-needed resources to those struggling with addiction. Warren first learned about the podcast through social media and was inspired by the stories of individuals like Dr. Schell, who sits on the initiative. She knew that bringing this conversation to Susquehanna County was crucial.
The public meeting she organized was more than just informative; it was a beacon of hope for many residents. Phil and Barbara Durkin, the county's drug and alcohol administrators, also played a key role in making this event a success. This episode sheds light on the real impact of the opioid crisis in Susquehanna County and underscores the importance of community-driven solutions.
If you're looking for an inspiring example of how collective action can make a difference, this episode is a must-listen.
