We're part of a bigger picture here, of changing attitudes in general about that, so that if a few hundred people or a few thousand people listen to what we have to say today and they hear you say what happens? Oh, I never thought about it, that's right.
Ever wondered how local police are tackling the heroin crisis that's crept into suburban neighborhoods? In this episode of Recovery Internet Radio, hosts Rick Atwater and Rob Ryberg sit down with Sgt. Tom Kotlowski from the CLPD to shed light on this urgent issue. Heroin, once confined to big cities, is now a menace in affluent suburbs, pushing law enforcement to adapt swiftly. Sgt.
Kotlowski discusses the introduction of Narcan, an anti-overdose drug, and how it's become a crucial tool in their arsenal. But it’s not just about stopping overdoses; the conversation delves into how prescription drug abuse often paves the way to heroin addiction. Sgt. Kotlowski emphasizes that addressing this epidemic requires more than just enforcement—it’s about changing community attitudes and focusing on recovery.
Tune in to hear about the real-world challenges and triumphs in combating this crisis and discover the importance of community outreach and education.
