We measure our success and we've kept documentation, and our objective and goals right from the very beginning was to get people into treatment and to educate the family and have family involvement and educate the community.
Sheriff John Tharp of Lucas County, Ohio, has taken a unique approach to battling the opioid crisis with his Drug Abuse Response Team (D.A.R.T.). In this episode of the Cover 2 Resources podcast, host Greg McNeil dives into the innovative methods Tharp and his team use to support those grappling with substance abuse. Established in 2014, D.A.R.T. isn't just about treating overdoses; it's about creating a supportive environment for patients and their families.
Tharp explains how his team educates road officers on handling overdoses and communicating effectively with overdose patients. The program also focuses on community involvement, using unmarked cars to reduce the stigma and fear associated with police intervention. This episode sheds light on the importance of a compassionate approach in law enforcement and how it can lead to better outcomes for those affected by addiction.
Whether you're struggling with substance abuse or know someone who is, this conversation offers valuable insights into how communities can come together to make a difference.
