Our Story

West Virginia is leading the county in overdose deaths, Hepatitis B & C, Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome and grandfamilies (children being raised by their grandparents). If we are not part of the solution, we are part of the problem. We have many great things going on here in Fayette County, however, those things are working independently. It is our hope to coordinate those initiatives so that the programs can collaborate to bring about community level change. Instead of saving a child or a person suffering from substance use disorder, change the system so that children, families and people suffering from addiction can get the support they need to reach their full potential.

In an effort to do that, we have created a substance use disorder coalition to fight the problems caused by drugs in our area called the Fayette County Substance Use Disorder Task Force. We have been meeting since May of 2018.

We are currently following the Strategic Prevention Framework that is recommended by Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) to be effective in the prevention of substance abuse issues. The strategic prevention framework includes a 5-step process: Assessment, Capacity Building, Planning, Intervention and Evaluation. It includes multiple sectors of society including: Youth, Parents, Business Community, Media, Schools, Youth-serving organizations, Law enforcement agencies, Religious or fraternal organizations, Civic and volunteer groups, Healthcare professionals, government and other organizations involved in reducing substance abuse and its effects. This process can sometimes take a decade to go all the way through. We don’t have a decade. We have people ready to move now.

We have administered a short survey, as an assessment of the situation and are currently trying to build capacity by inviting individuals to serve on subcommittees that address the continuum of care, which are Prevention, Intervention, Treatment and Recovery. The next step is to create a comprehensive plan that incorporates the 7 strategies to affect community level change, which include: Provide information, Enhance Skills, Provide Support, Enhance Access/Reduce Barriers, Change Consequences, Change Physical Design and Modify/Change Policies.
