🎙️🎙️Addiction is a mental illness that can be treated. Addiction is not a moral failing. Talk TO somebody who uses drugs. Do not talk DOWN to someone using drugs. In order to help, you have to start by meeting that person where they are at. Empathy goes a lot father than criticism. Encourage that person to seek help. Support that person when they seek treatment. Acknowledge even the smallest accomplishment that person makes. Remind them that recovery happens "One Day at a Time". , , , ❤️

🎙️🎙️December 1st is World AIDS Day, a time to honor those we’ve lost to HIV/AIDS and to recognize the many people who continue to live with the virus. It’s also a moment to celebrate the tremendous progress made in both treatment and prevention, including long-acting injectable options. And as we look ahead, we can feel hopeful about what’s on the horizon: even longer-lasting treatments and preventive tools, and the ongoing scientific pursuit of an effective vaccine that could one day end HIV transmission.

🎙️🎙️One of the best ways to reduce the spread of HIV is Treatment as Prevention (TaP). If a person who is HIV+ takes their medicine as prescribed, and become undetectable(no virus is found in a sample of blood) for six consecutive months, it has been proven that person cannot pass the virus to their s*xual partner U=U (Undetectable=Untransmittable). It is a win-=win situation. The person who is HIV+ is in medical care and their s*xual partner is not at risk of getting HIV. , , , , , ,

🎙️🎙️The opioid crisis has not gone away. It is just not talked about anymore. People are still overdosing daily, and fentanyl still remains a major problem in the community. Fentanyl is powerful and it is inexpensive and drug dealers love it because it maximizes profits. If you have a problem with any drug or alcohol call New Directions at 585-262-4330 ext. 3200 and talk to a counselor about getting help. , , , , , ,
