Barren River Health Dept. Needle Exchange Program

Barren River Health Dept. Needle Exchange Program

# data[].attributes.body
Glasgow's needle exchange program operates out of the Barren County Health Department on Thursday's from 12:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. While people do receive clean needles, the program also offers an overall harm reduction campaign. The clients receive counseling, options for treatments, free HIV and Hep C testing, and a free Hep A vaccination.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Syringe services programs (SSP), also known as syringe exchange programs (SEP), have existed and been studied extensively in the United States since 1988.Community-based SSPs provide access to sterile needles and syringes free of cost, facilitate safe disposal of used needles and syringes and offer safer injection education. SSPs in Kentucky also provide participants with access to critical services and programs, including substance use disorder treatment programs; overdose prevention education; screening, care and treatment for HIV and viral hepatitis; prevention of mother-to-child transmission; hepatitis A and hepatitis B vaccination; screening for other sexually transmitted diseases and tuberculosis; partner services; and other medical, social and mental health services.

In response to Senate Bill 192 enacted in 2015, the Kentucky Department for Public Health publishes guidelines for local health departments implementing harm reduction and SSPs.

SB 192 impacts KRS 218A.500

KY SEP Guidelines (Long Version)

KY SEP Guidelines (Short Version)

Why Does Kentucky Need SSPs?

SSPs are designed to mitigate a number of public health issues, including emergence of a new HIV epidemic. An Indiana town near Louisville recently had an HIV outbreak among people who inject drugs. Austin, Indiana now has HIV rates comparable to those in sub-Saharan Africa. Undoubtedly, this outbreak will cost Indiana millions of dollars to treat the new HIV infections.

Nearly half of Kentucky's counties are at risk of an HIV outbreak.
Recently the CDC analyzed every county in the United States to determine how vulnerable others might be to an HIV outbreak like the one in Indiana. Of the 220 counties across the US identified as highly vulnerable, 54 are in Kentucky (see map below). Kentucky also had among the highest rates of hepatitis C in the nation for several years. This is foretelling, because most of these new hepatitis C infections are from people who inject drugs and share needles, cookers and other contaminated equipment. Hepatitis C rates like those in Kentucky are seen as the canary in the coal mine for an HIV outbreak. SSPs have proven capable of reducing the chance of an outbreak.

*Please contact Krista Mevoli to revise SSP locations and hours.

SSPs do not encourage the initiation of drug use nor do they increase the frequency of drug use among current users. ( 1)

SSPs reduce the spread of infections like HIV and viral hepatitis. ( 2)

SSPs do not increase community crime. Community residents may worry that syringe services locations will increase theft, sex trades, assaults, and an increase of contaminated needles on the street. However, studies have shown that SSPs actually decrease crime in the area they are located. ( 3)

SSPs increase community safety. Research shows that SSPs promote public health and safety by taking syringes off the streets and protecting law enforcement personnel from needle stick injuries, which can result in the transmission of diseases such as HIV/AIDS and hepatitis B and C. ( 4)

SSPs connect people to treatment. One study found that SSP participants are five times more likely to enter a drug treatment program than nonparticipants. ( 5)

Recommended Best Practices for Effective SSPs in the United States

SSPs are central to reducing disease and other health burdens among people who inject illicit drugs. Three decades of research has demonstrated the effectiveness of SSPs in preventing HIV and other blood-borne infections, as well as connecting people who inject drugs with a range of vital medical and social services and supports. The Recommended Best Practices report from the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene with the Drug Policy Alliance summarizes the consensus among United States SSP experts of the underlying principles and programmatic elements that enable or constrain SSP effectiveness. Effective SSPs have the support of local governing bodies and match sound operational characteristics with responsiveness to the unique features of their host communities. New or expanding SSPs may benefit from technical assistance from the considerable expertise of those experienced in operating SSPs around the country. The panel highlighted operational characteristics that are critical for effective SSPs, and measures to be avoided because they undermine the primary goal of SSPs: to make new, sterile syringes available to Persons Who Inject Drugs (PWIDs).

Characteristics of Effective SSPs ( 6)

Promote secondary syringe distribution

Train and support peer educators

Do not impose limits on number of syringes (doing so promotes sharing of needles)

Maximize responsiveness to characteristics of the local PWID population

Adapt planning activities and service modalities to subgroup needs

Provide or coordinate the provision of other health and social services

Include diverse community stakeholders in creating a social and legal environment supportive of SSPs

Supplying single-use syringes

Limiting frequency of visits and number of syringes

Requiring one-for-one exchange (results in sharing of needles)

Imposing geographic limits

Restricting syringe volume with unnecessary maximums

Requiring identifying documents

Requiring unnecessary data collection

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
At Drug Rehab Program Glasgow we get that Drug addiction and Alcoholism are problems that can, and will completely ruin the life of any individual afflicted with addiction. It is all too often that normal use of drugs and alcohol develops into chronic use and addiction. Their are no normal boundaries when it comes to addiction. Drug and Alcohol Addiction can happen to anyone, affect anyone in certain circumstances. However, just as anyone can become addicted to substances, they can also become drug free when finding the right treatment.

In our current environment, drugs exist in all of our daily lives. Drugs like liquor, oxycontin, weed and many other addictive drugs are readily available in most areas we play and live. These kinds of drugs and alcohol, when used chronically over an extended period of time, turn into tolerance and dependence. Once anybody has formed a hard core addiction, it can be virtually impossible to stop using without some form of help.

We at Drug Treatment Program Glasgow understand that there is no premeditated decision on the part of anyone to become dependent on drugs and alcohol. We also know that any individual that is ruining their life because of their addiction wants to stop using and change their life for the better. We know that each and everyone of these people should get the chance to receive the help that they are in need of.

Drug Detox at Drug Rehab Glasgow

After a person has taken an addictive drug over an extended amount of time, a dependence develops for the drug. When dependence or addiction has developed it might be unsafe to suddenly stop using the drug without professional help through a medical detoxification process. Addictive drugs such as liquor, heroin, meth, demerol and others produce a variety of withdrawal symptoms such as agitation, stress, discomfort, restlessness, sweating, nausea and more.

At Drug Treatment Glasgow we provide the needed medical care to make our clients as comfortable as possible in the withdrawal process. We offer 24/7 care during this critical first step in the recovery process. Our clients typically say that they feel a true feeling of accomplishment when they complete detox.

Long Term Rehabilitation Plan

At Drug Treatment Facility Glasgow we have learned that the number one factor in determining success is whether the client has truly overcome their addiction. Success can only be measured by the patient's confidence in their ability to stay sober. Short term treatment programs typically fall short of this goal.

We feel that it is crucial not to be under time restraints while in rehab. The time that you stay in treatment can offer a lifetime of sobriety, it is well worth the investment of whatever time that it needs. We find the real issues that that most likely are at the root of the addiction. We will help you to repair the damages that you have created in your life so that you are not filled with disappointment. You will learn life skills, coping skills and relapse prevention methods so that you are not only sober when you leave, but know how to stay sober for a lifetime. We know that you want a better life and we are here to provide you a way to achieve it.

Relapse Prevention

At Drug Treatment Program Glasgow we teach our patients drug addiction relapse prevention methods to help those who have suffered with the serious issue of drug addiction to create a plan to stop drug use in the future. Drug addiction relapse prevention protocols are necessary when it comes to drug addiction recovery. Individuals must know different tools and steps they can take to ensure their hard work of substance abuse recovery lasts far into the future. Substance Abuse can be a persistent chronic relapsing situation if the person is not equipped with the ability to stop future relapses. This is why rehabilitation needs changes in behaviors and values, which is all part of relapse prevention. Because of these issues, rehabilitation is not a static situation; it is an ongoing process. Relapse happens when attitudes and behaviors go back to ones similar to those shown when the individual was constantly using drugs or alcohol. Although relapse could happen at any moment, it is usually more likely earlier in the rehabilitation process. At this stage, habits and attitudes required for success, techniques required to replace substance use, and identity with positive peers are not confidently set in stone. With the use of relapse prevention techniques that are taught at our Drug Rehabilitation Glasgow facility, our clients have an increased chance at long term rehabilitation without chronically relapsing.
