Today, a group of Governor’s Scholars visited Revived Recovery Transitional Care to enhance their education and advocacy skills in support of Residential Substance Abuse Treatment programs. Staff members Howard Keesy and Preston Rhodes provided the students with a guided tour and an informative overview of our treatment services.

This type of experience can have a lasting impact by helping young leaders better understand the challenges of addiction and the value of treatment. By witnessing the work firsthand, these students are more equipped to become informed advocates for recovery and help break the stigma surrounding substance abuse.

April was Child Abuse Awareness month, however, we celebrate this cause year round. We strive to advocate for our youth, and their wellbeing, 365 days a year. This year we challenged high school students to design a poster taking a stand against child abuse. While all of the entries were great, and we had a hard time choosing the winners, here are our 1st, 2nd and 3rd places!

We encourage our community to support and stand along side our youth in the fight to end child abuse. According to Norton Children’s, Kentucky nearly doubles the U.S. child abuse victim rate (2023). Please remember, we are, and implore others, to be mandated reporters! If you see something, say something; a child’a life depends on it!

Today we’re out at the High School Transition Fair at LCCHS! We know that sometimes there can be some mixed emotions about starting high school, and it can be a stressful time. We want our students to know we’re always here for them. Feel free to stop by today or you can reach out to Amber Hogg or Allison Holbrook to learn about our programs. If you’re worried about being seen in school, don’t worry, we offer services both in school and outpatient for youth and adults! Congratulations to all our 8th graders starting a new chapter, we look forward to seeing all the places you’ll go!!!

May is Mental Health Awareness Month. While it was first recognized in 1949, it has never been more important than now to recognize the role mental health plays in our overall well-being and the value in raising awareness and helping those in need receive treatment.
Nearly one in five adults in the US has a mental health condition. But that one person has family, friends, and others whose lives are touched by their condition, even if they don't themselves suffer from one. You might be surprised by the prevalence of mental health conditions in adults in the US:
* 48 million have an anxiety disorder
* 21 million have major depression
* 9 million have post-traumatic stress disorder
* 7 million have bipolar disorder
* 3.5 million have borderline personality disorder
* 3 million have obsessive compulsive disorder
* 1.5 million have schizophrenia

MCCC offers Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) at our clinic in Whitesburg. The mission of MAT services is to improve the overall health of the underserved and homeless population of eastern Kentucky by providing access to quality addiction services treatment. Our philosophy is to provide patient-centered treatment for those suffering with the disease of addiction through prevention, education, accountability, advocacy, and support knowing that all people deserve access to quality treatment regardless of their circumstances, beliefs, or history. The goal is to provide quality addiction care to those seeking addiction services and to decrease drug addiction rates across Appalachia.

Medication-Assisted Treatment combines prescription medication and behavioral therapies to treat substance use disorder (SUD). Medications used for MAT services are approved by the FDA for the treatment of opioid dependence. According to the FDA, these treatments, "have been demonstrated to be safe and effective in combination with counseling and psychosocial support."

Call our Whitesburg MCCC office today to learn more or to discuss MAT consultation: 606-536-5014.

Nikki, Amber, and Christen (unfortunately not pictured) spent this morning at JMHS for the job fair! They talked with students about the many different services available through MCCC and gave out fidget spinners, stress balls, pens, pencils, and the ever favorite, candy! They loved getting to spend time encouraging our youth to learn about mental health services available to them close to home, and hopefully recruited some future employees! Thank you to JMHS for having us at a wonderful event 💚🖤🤍

Mountain Comprehensive Care Center (MCCC), in collaboration with Letcher County Jail (LCJ), have been diligently working to improve outcomes for incarcerated individuals within LCJ’s service region. MCCC’s “Southeast KY Reentry Program” – a project aimed at reducing recidivism among medium/high risk adults with substance use disorder (SUD) or co-occurring SUD/mental health disorders – will serve approximately 210 incarcerated individuals prior to release at LCJ and post-release within Knott, Leslie, Letcher, Leslie, and Pike counties.

The improving re-entry grant will allow MCCC to provide a full range of behavioral health services within LCJ. This is a landmark achievement, as it is the first time a program of this magnitude has ever been offered to inmates at LCJ.

Substance abuse disorders impact many people across the Commonwealth. The opioid epidemic continues to claim the lives of people throughout the country. Kentucky ranks amongst the highest (and well above national average) in drug overdose rates.

If you, or someone you know is at increased risk for opioid overdose, especially those struggling with opioid use disorder (OUD), Narcan (naloxone) is a life saving tool that should be readily available. Individuals who use opioids and benzodiazepines together, and/or those who use illicit opioids such as he**in should carry naloxone in case of an overdose. As you cannot use naloxone on yourself, it’s important to let others know you have it in case you experience an opioid overdose.

Carrying naloxone is no different than carrying an Epipen for someone with allergies. It simply provides an extra layer of protection for those at a higher risk for overdose.

On February 25, 2024 the Southeastern Ky Re-entry Jail grant installed an Opioid Rescue Kit containing Narcan outside of the LCJ, establishing free access in the community to a life saving option. Each day it will be refilled as needed. This box offers a judgement free, safe, accessible resource to our community in efforts to prevent overdose deaths.

For more information regarding this program or other opportunities for treatment regarding SUD or mental health issues, please call 606-536-5014.
