The Daviess County Treatment Providers Association
has several activities planned for the month. Can you please post these to the website and Facebook as well as any other places you may choose. Feel free to contact me if you need any clarifications.....Thanks
A proclamation was received yesterday by Dr. RonSonlyn Clark, Chair, proclaiming this as National Alcohol and Drug Addiction Recovery Month from the Daviess County Fiscal Court. She was allowed to speak to the group present and detailed to them the effectiveness of treatment over incarceration and the cost savings for each recovering individual. The local newspaper covered the proceedings and mentioned it the 9/4/10 newspaper.
The Messenger-Inquirer will be printing an "In My View" article on Sunday 9/5/10 written by Dr. Clark about what substance abuse addiction looks like and its impact on the community as well as how important it is to get the addict and their family help.
Several radio and TV announcements will be made during the month telling of the activities and local treatment professionals are going to be interviewed.
Our big event will be 9/30/10. Senior Judge Lew Nicholls from Ashland, KY will be coming to town for a special judge's reception provided by the treatment providers group from 5-5:45 at Owensboro Regional Recovery. Judge Nicholls, Dr. Clark, and two recovering individuals from the community will be featured in a public forum on the topic of substance abuse and its effects on the family and community from 6:30 to 8 pm at the ROC at Settle United Methodist Church. This will be followed by a candelight service dedicated to those lost to addiction.
