MENTAL HEALTH & SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER
MENTAL HEALTH TREATMENT ONLY
OUTPATIENT care involves health or mental health care within the community. What this generally will look like is you will go to a provider for your visit, which might include seeing a prescriber for medication, a nurse for a check-up, or another professional for counseling or help. They work with you to create your recovery plan.
INPATIENT care means you are admitted to a hospital on a doctor’s order. In general, inpatient care usually involves a short hospital stay, but can be long-term depending on what you need.
MAT Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) is the use of FDA-approved medication, usually in combination with therapy and recovery supports, for the treatment of opioid addiction or substance use. Physicians prescribe a medication based on a patient’s specific medical needs and other factors.
RESIDENTIAL treatment (sometimes called rehab) is a live-in health care facility providing therapy for mental health and/or substance use.
COMMUNITY SUPPORT includes services that provide education, linkage, and case management to you, your family, and other important supports in your life so that you can learn to manage your symptoms and live as successfully and independently as possible. Services include skill-building tools for daily living, education about mental illness and medication, development of community sup-ports, and case management/service coordination.

TO TREATMENT & RECOVERY SUPPORT SERVICES.
CALL OR TEXT419.306.6534FOR OVERDOSE REPORTING
This is the QRT Hotline for confidential overdose reporting. Leave a message with a name, number, and address, and we will reach out.
WITHIN 72 HOURS OF AN OVERDOSE REPORT, QRT WILL:

Warning Signs of Alcohol Abuse* Abdominal pain * Making excuses to drink* Confusion * Nausea and vomiting* Drinking alone * Need for daily or regular use of alcohol to function* Episodes of violence with drinking * Neglecting to eat* Hostility when confronted about drinking * Not caring for physical appearance* Lack of control over drinking * Secretive behavior
* Shaking in the morning
Warning Signs of Substance Use* Cycles of being unusually talkative, "up" and cheerful, with seemingly boundless energy* Increased irritability, agitation, and anger* Unusual calmness, unresponsiveness, or looking "spaced out"* Apathy and depression* Paranoia and delusions*Abnormally slow movements, speech or reaction time, confusion, and disorientation* Sudden weight loss or weight gain* Cycles
11
Tolerance
Tolerance develops when someone uses an opioid drug regularly. Their body becomes used to the drug and needs a larger or more frequent dose to continue to experience the same effect. The brain adapts to the exposure, allowing the person to use more or a stronger dose without the respiratory system failing.
Loss of tolerance
Loss of tolerance occurs when someone stops taking an opioid drug after long-term use. The longer a person is opioid-free, the more the brain will attempt to adapt back to its normal state.
When someone loses tolerance and then takes an opioid drug again, they can experience serious adverse effects, including overdose.
Most opiate overdose deaths occur in persons who have just gone through withdrawal or
detoxed. Because withdrawal reduces the
person’s tolerance, those who have just gone through withdrawal can overdose on a much
smaller dose than they used to take.
What is MAT?
(Medication-Assisted Treatment)
Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) is the use of FDA-approved medication, usually in combination with therapy and recovery supports, for the treatment of opioid addiction or substance use. Physicians prescribe a medication based on a patient’s specific medical needs and other factors.
Effective medications include:
• Buprenorphine (Subutex, Suboxone)• Naltrexone (Depade, Vivitrol)• Methadone
KNOW YOUR RISK FOR AN OPIOID OVERDOSEProvided by the Medication-Assisted Treatment Collaborative of Hancock County

Project DAWN (Deaths Avoided With Naloxone) is a community-based overdose education and naloxone distribution program that was created as a way to combat Ohio’s opioid overdose epidemic. Naloxone (also known as Narcan) is a medication that can reverse an overdose caused by an opioid drug (heroin or prescription pain medications). When administered during an overdose, Naloxone blocks the effects of opioids on the brain and quickly restores breathing.
It takes less than 30 minutes to obtain a kit that could save a life. Attendees learn to:
• Recognize the signs and symptoms of overdose
• Distinguish between different types of overdose
• Perform rescue breathing
• Call emergency medical services
• Administer intranasal Naloxone
The kit includes:
• 2 - 4mg doses of Narcan Nasal Spray
• 1 pair of nitrile gloves
• 1 face shield
• 1 educational DVD
• 1 educational booklet
Obtaining a Project DAWN kit:
With the passage of HB 170, the kits may be dispensed to the individual with addiction, as well as a family member, friend, or loved one.
You may obtain a naloxone kit for free through Hancock Public Health's Project DAWN program. Walk-in's are accepted, however, it is preferred that you schedule an appointment in order to ensure a staff member will be available to complete the education and distribution with you.
If you would like to schedule an appointment or would like more information, contact:
Gary Bright, Injury Prevention Coordinator / [email protected] / (567) 250 -5151
or visit The Ohio Department of Health's Project DAWN Website
Project DAWN kits are free. Donations are accepted but not required.

WHAT ISADDICTION?Addiction reflects the
highest level of progression of a
substance use disorder.
WHAT IS RECOVERY?Recovery is a process of change that permits an individual to make
healthy choices and improve the quality of his or her life.
• Like other chronic diseases, addiction involves cycles of relapse andremission. Without treatment or engagement in recovery activities, addictionis progressive and can result in disability or premature death.
• There are many pathways to recovery. Individuals are unique with specificneeds, strengths, goals, health attitudes, behaviors and expectations forrecovery.
• Pathways to recovery are highly personal, and generally involve a redefinitionof identity in the face of crisis or a process of progressive change.
• Furthermore, pathways are often social, grounded in cultural beliefs ortraditions, and involve informal community resources, which provide support forsobriety.
ADDICTION & RECOVERY
Compiled by the Hancock County Opioid & Addictions Task Force - Updated January 2020
Addiction is a treatable, chronic medical disease involving complex interactions among brain circuts, genetics, the envionment, and an individual's life
expectancies. People with addiction use substances or engage in behaviors that become more compulsive and often continue despite harmful consequences.
Prevention efforts and treatment approaches for addiction are generally as successful as those for other chronic diseases. - ASAM, 2019
16
Language is powerful – especially when talking about addictions.Stigmatizing language perpetuates negative perceptions.
“Person first” language focuses on the person, not the disorder.When discussing addictions...

HOW TO SUPPORT SOMEONE IN RECOVERY
• Don’t judge. Many people in recovery feeljudged by their family and friends. Acceptthem for who they are and refrain fromcriticism and negativity.
• Be patient. Recovery can be a long,complicated process. People often havesetbacks. It’s important for them to know thatyou support them when things get tough.
• Reinforce that recovery is possible. Like otherchronic diseases, people can manageaddictions successfully.
• Actively listen. Take notice of your loved one’svictories and struggles.
• Encourage healthy habits. Cooking,exercising and playing games are all positive,substance-free activities you can do with aperson in recovery.
• Suggest a support group. Support groupsallow people in recovery to interact with andreceive encouragement from others whostruggle with addiction.
• Continue to offer encouragement and
support. Emphasize that it takes a lot ofcourage to get help for an addiction.
• Take care of yourself. Take time to participatein activities you enjoy. Spend time with others,or consider joining a support group for friendsand families of people with addictions.
TIPS FOR TALKING WITH A LOVED
ONE ABOUT SUBSTANCE USE
• Treat the person with respect and dignity.• Talk with them in a quiet, private place when
both of you are sober and calm.• Try to understand the person’s own perception
of their substance use. Ask if they believe theirsubstance use is a problem.
• Consider the person’s readiness to talk abouttheir substance use.
• Do not force the person to admit they have a problem.
• Express your point of view by using “I”statements, like “I have noticed…” or“I am concerned…”
• Identify and discuss their behavior rather thancriticize their character.
• Let the person know that you are concernedand willing to help.
• Listen without judging the person as bad/immoral.
• Do not label or accuse the person of being an“addict.”
• Have realistic expectations for the person –learning to manage a brain disease takes time.

Creative Expressions
Creative Expressions can help connect people in all stages of life or
during recovery to that inner healing voice. Creativity can be explored
through a variety of artistic ways. Common methods include, but are
not limited to: drama, dance, music, creative writing, the visual arts
and photography. All these activities engage the participant/artist in a
process that uses a holistic health framework to access physical,
mental, spiritual and social well-being. Creative Expressions can be
used to express thoughts and feelings that perhaps are too big or too
complicated to put into words. The benefits of Creative Expressions
can last a lifetime.
Emotional Recovery/Wellness
Emotional Wellness implies the ability to be aware of and
accept our feelings rather than denying them, having an
optimistic approach to life and enjoying life despite its
occasional disappointments and frustrations. When people
change their lifestyle, like giving up substances, it may still
be difficult to obtain and feel happiness in sobriety. It can
be tough to handle their emotions without substances.
Working towards emotional wellness, while this may take
years to accomplish, it can lead to a greater happiness in
life.
Stress Management
Some people experience stress so frequently, they are
unable to recognize it. This is troubling because it means
the individual could be suffering the consequences of
chronic stress without them knowing. Once the individual
recognizes that they are suffering from stress it is helpful
to try to deal with it. There are many options for doing this
with relaxation techniques such as exercising, proper
nutrition, yoga, meditation, spirituality, and a supportive
living environment which can be great for coping with
stress.
Meditation
Ranging from practices associated with specific religions or beliefs to
methods focusing on physical relaxation, meditation is one of the
most popular techniques to achieve physical and mental relaxation.
There are many different methods of meditation which can be learned
on your own. Mediation involves centering and focusing your
innermost self, quieting your mind, emotions and body. This
meditative state can be achieved through structured or unstructured
activities. Meditation can be learned from meditation teachers, books,
and even online tutorials.
Medication Assisted Treatment
Many diseases and disorders have medicinal options for treatment,
whether you have problems with how your kidneys function or if you
are a person who experiences problem substance use. Medication
Assisted Treatment (MAT) is a valid pathway to recovery for some
and should not be discounted as trading one addictive drug for
another. MAT can help people manage their addiction to help
maintain recovery.
Spirituality
It can be difficult to understand what has happened to us in our lives
and find some sort of meaning behind the circumstances. Even though
we may be in recovery from problem substance use and/or mental
health problems, we may need something more to help us achieve
overall wellness. When we feel challenged, overwhelmed, or even
excited about an upcoming new direction we’re about to take, having a spiritual foundation may help in many ways. Spirituality can help
connect us to a community, gives us a sense of purpose and
groundedness, or help us feel humble as part of something greater.
Fitness
Exercise can be a method to compensate for stressors.
Physical exercise not only promotes overall fitness, but
also helps to manage emotional stress and tensions as
well. Exercise can also aid in relaxation and improve
sleep quality. It can remove you temporarily from a
stressful situation or environment. Being fit and healthy
also increases your ability to deal with stress as it arises
and creates a sense of physical wellbeing.
Pathways to Recovery
Nutrition
Proper nutrition and hydration are vital to the substance use
healing process because they help restore physical and mental
health. Proper nutrition helps people feel better because
nutrients give the body energy, help build and repair organ
tissue, and strengthen the immune system. Healthy and
nutritional food can be used to feel better physically and
mentally which can reduce the risk of relapse.

Become a Recovery Guide!Are you a person or family member in recovery who wants volunteer?
What is a Recovery Guide?A Recovery Guide is a volunteer who supports and promotes recovery by helping people remove barriers
and build recovery capital. Basically, Recovery Guides are people who want to help others find and
maintain recovery. Recovery Guides share their knowledge, strength, and hope to help people find their
own strengths and pathway to recovery.
Who can be a Recovery Guide? Volunteers can be: • Individuals with personal lived experience in recovery from a mental health/substance use/trauma
• A family member of someone impacted by a mental health/substance use/trauma
Recovery Guides are individuals who have sustained recovery for themselves or their family. Recovery
Guides are required to complete an application and training to gain the skills and knowledge needed to be
a Recovery Guide.
What does a Recovery Guide do? A Recovery Guide may be matched one-on-one with a participant in the program and commits to
spending at least one hour a week with that participant. The Recovery Guide and the participant work
together to help the participant begin or maintain their recovery.
Recovery Guides also volunteer at FOCUS to interact with peers, lead classes, teach skills, or just listen.
They are present throughout the community, providing peer-based support to those who need it.
Why should I volunteer as a Recovery Guide?Volunteering has many positive benefits! As a Recovery Guide, you would have the opportunity to:
• Learn new skills
• Share your knowledge and experiences with others
• Network within the community
• Develop personal and professional skills
• Give back to the community
• Have a positive impact in Hancock County!
How do I get involved?For more information, or to apply to become a Recovery Guide, call or stop by FOCUS.
If you’d like to volunteer but don’t think being a Recovery Guide is right for you, contact us. There are a
hundred ways you can volunteer. We’d love to meet you!
FOCUS provides peer-led support and resources to help people improve their health and wellness, live a
self-directed life, and sustain their recovery.

Addiction is a disease that
affects the whole family.

mistakes?
Made up excuses for their bad behavior?
Shut yourself out from the rest of the world?
You’re Not Alone is a support group for
families who have been affected by addiction.
We offer a safe place for you to share your
story. By sharing with others who understand,
you will begin to find serenity among the

Sharing is Healing
Our meetings are anonymous so you can
safely share your story. The important thing
is that you reach out for help so that you can
begin to heal. Peace can be found in the chaos
of a loved one’s addiction.
By taking care of yourself first, you will have
more energy and strength to help your loved
one in their battle with addiction. You can’t
make someone enter rercovery but, you can
find a place of understanding and peace for
yourself while you wait for that day to come.
Like our loved ones, we need to find recovery
for ourselves. It does take work, but the
results are worth it.
GOD
Grant me the serenity to
accept the things I cannot
change.
The courage to change the
things I can.
And the wisdom to know the
difference.
