Celebrate Recovery Allows Addicts, Families to Share Positive Results

TOGETHER MAGIC CAN HAPPEN –

Sept. 28, 2023 – The Community Paramedicine Program has been a stepping stone to recovery by providing counseling and services to families battling addiction, connecting patients to needed resources and administering Narcan, which can prevent deaths from opioid overdose.

Tthe success of the Paramedicine Program has depended on its relationship with like-minded, altruistic charities in Clay, many of whom were in attendance at the event last weekend.  

One charities was the Oxford House, an international network of democratically-ran, self-sustaining recovery homes. Members pay their share of rent and bills, vote on house rules attend recovery meetings together. They have men’s and women’s houses, and houses for with children. The organization started in Clay in June 2022. More than a year later, the organization has already built five houses in the county.  

Casey, a county resident and two-year member of the Oxford House, is a living testament to the charity’s impact.

“This is my first time being introduced into a program, and it has completely changed my life. This is the first time since I was 16 (years old) since I had complete sobriety from all substances. It’s amazing not to depend on that constant chase, and I’ve got my children back. I’ve become a better mother, and I’ve applied the principles of (the program) into (other) areas of my life as well,” she said. On Nov. 6, she will celebrate the second anniversary of her sobriety.
