Shatterproof Treatment Atlas will make finding the proper treatment program more accessible to Hoosiers.
INDIANAPOLIS — Nearly one in 12 Hoosiers, almost a half million people, meet the criteria for having a substance use disorder, according to Indiana University."I've heard countless stories from Hoosiers, some who even work in the treatment system, who tell me the difficulty of navigating finding care for a loved one,” Douglas Huntsinger, executive director for Drug Prevention, Treatment and Enforcement and Chairman of the Indiana Commission to Combat Substance Use Disorder, said.
"Looking back on this journey, Carol and I are convinced that if we’d have had access to a platform like Atlas, we would have been able to find the best fit for Alex's needs and the final outcome would have been different,” Emanuel Merchier said. Devon Jones has been in recovery for 17 years. He now helps others overcome their addictions as a Behavioral Health and Addictions Officer in northwest Indiana."Even within my family we have multiple pathways to recovery," Jones said."Mine falls under the harm reduction model by improving my health and wellness over time, while my cousin Macy Simmons follows more of a 12-step model.
"I was able to get him linked to treatment," Jones said. “I think about all the individuals in our state where their family members or friends know they’re struggling, and they need help but don’t have a central place or platform to turn to.”
