We want to make sure that they have the resources that they can seek that out on their own, because, like you said, at some point they might reach that point where they are wanting some help, and it's nice when they have those resources, absolutely.
Imagine walking into a police station, not to be arrested, but to get help for addiction. Sounds like a scene from a movie, right? But it's happening in real life, thanks to initiatives like the Angel Initiative in Louisville, KY. In this episode of the Landmark Recovery Podcast, host Heather Volson chats with police sergeant Brittney Garrett about how law enforcement is evolving from enforcers to helpers in the battle against addiction.
From the opioid crisis to the broader challenges of substance abuse, this episode dives into how police departments are partnering with community rehab programs to offer immediate and long-term recovery resources. Programs like the Police Assisted Addiction Recovery Initiative (PAARI) are making it easier for addicts to find the help they need without the stigma or fear of judgment.
Tune in to hear about the real impact these initiatives are having on individuals and communities, and why building trust between law enforcement and the public is more crucial than ever.
