Looking ahead: ASAP looks to bolster community response to drug crisis in 2021
Alliance for Substance Abuse Progress leaders are planning to look at how they can bolster the community-wide response to substance use disorder over the next year amid a worsening drug overdose crisis that has claimed 101 lives in Bartholomew County since 2017, including at least 30 last year.
Much of the focus for 2021 involves addressing gaps in Bartholomew County’s ability to help people overcome substance use disorder and evaluating the capacity and need for local inpatient treatment options, ASAP officials said.
Among the gaps highlighted by ASAP officials were a potential inpatient medically supervised detox program in Bartholomew County, more recovery housing for women and the possibility of additional ASAP-run recovery homes, said ASAP Executive Director Doug Leonard.
