The Kentucky River Health Consortium recently held an event called “Picking up the Pieces” at the Perry County Public Library with the aim of making a difference in the lives of individuals in the Kentucky River Region. During this event, officials emphasized that addiction is not a choice but often a result of chronic diseases like diabetes that require medication for treatment.
Frances Feltner, Director of the Center of Excellence in Rural Health, highlighted the importance of family and friends supporting and helping individuals struggling with addiction. The event brought together various organizations through the Kentucky River Health Consortium to collaborate and share resources on tackling addiction.
Key topics discussed during the event included Casey’s Law, which provides a legal means for family members to intervene and help individuals struggling with addiction. Attendees, including Andrew who shared his personal journey battling substance abuse, highlighted the importance of family support and resources like Casey’s Law in overcoming addiction.
