Leah's Gathering Place OPEN TODAY, SEPT. 24 10 AM - 6 PM during SAVE A LIFE DAY 2026
Let's Come Together to Save Our Community! 💜

Leah's Legacy will be open to anyone who would like to stop by to chat, learn about valuable resources in our community and to learn about and access free lifesaving supplies including Narcan. On-demand Narcan demonstrations will be available throughout the day.

Please don't hesitate to stop by; even if it's just to talk and learn more about addiction and recovery or our programs. Everyone can benefit from learning more about these topics, because they affect each and every one of us whether they impact us directly or not.

We are located at 10409 Grant Shook Rd. in Greencastle, PA. If you have any questions, please reach out to our recovery specialist at (717) 494-2290! We will be ready and waiting for you with open arms! 🤗

Do you receive Pennsylvania medical assistance (government funded health insurance)?? 🩺

If so, please be on the lookout for any letters from the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services. Starting this coming January 2027, new Medicaid requirements will take effect. If you are impacted by these new requirements, you will soon receive a letter that outlines the steps you will need to take to keep your benefits moving forward. It is expected that these letters will start coming in this month (September).

Access to adequate health insurance is of the utmost importance for everyone, and especially for people who are in recovery from a substance use disorder. Without health insurance, access to substance use treatment including medication assisted treatment could be interrupted.

If you or a loved one has been impacted by substance use disorder and you could use some assistance with navigating these changes, or if you could benefit from overall support, we're here to help. Leah's Legacy provides compassionate, flexible support services to individuals and families who have been impacted by addiction. If this sounds like it could be helpful for you, please give us a call or visit our website to learn more.

Changing Drug Supply ‼‼‼

The illicit drug supply has changed significantly in the past few years; and it continues to change as new, increasingly dangerous substances are filtered in with the already extremely lethal substances that have been present for a while now, such as Fentanyl.

One newer substance that has been found in a number of different types of illicit drugs (mainly opioids but nothing has been off limits) is called Medetomidine. It's a powerful veterinary sedative and can cause severe and even deadly withdrawals. These withdrawals are not like opioid withdrawals (because this is not an opioid), though the drug is often found to be mixed with true opioids.

Medetomidine causes a heavy, prolonged sedation that can last for several hours, slow heart rate, and low blood pressure while someone is using. When they stop, the opposite occurs and may include:

-High blood pressure
-Rapid heart rate (over 100 beats per minute)
-Severe nausea
-Uncontrolled vomiting
-Brain zaps
-Heavy sweating
-Tremors (this may also look like seizure like activity)
-Delirium and altered mental status
-Changes in alertness
-Severe agitation or anxiety

This withdrawal syndrome can come on suddenly and the significant swing from low blood pressure and low heart rate to the exact opposite can put a great deal of strain on the cardiovascular system.

If you or someone you know begins experiencing these symptoms, please don't try to manage them alone, as this is very dangerous and can even be fatal. Please go to your nearest emergency room to seek quality medical care and stay safe. ❤️‍🩹 In addition, because this drug is not an opioid, Narcan alone will not reverse an overdose if it is the cause (though it is still encouraged that Narcan is administered due to the likelihood that opioids are present as well.) Rescue breathing will help to keep someone alive until first responders arrive.

If you would like to learn more about this topic or if you have been impacted by addiction and could use some support, please give us a call or visit our website to learn more.

Happy Labor Day!! 👩‍🚒👮‍♀️👷👷‍♂️🕵️‍♀️👩‍⚕️

This is a day to celebrate and recognize the people all across our country who contribute their talents, skills and hard work to collectively keep our world spinning. 🌎 It also marks an unofficial end to Summer and the beginning of Fall!

Every role matters, and each person behind every role matters too. Without them, the well-oiled and maintained machine of our society would no longer run so smoothly.

The collaboration and willingness to help one another to help others here in Franklin and Fulton Counties is such a beautiful thing. We hope that all of you are enjoying this holiday and that you recognize the tremendous positive impact you continue to make in our community, especially for the individuals and families we serve. 💜

Our recovery specialist is available to help connect you to the treatment or resources you're looking for and can provide ongoing recovery support.
