Brittany's Alcoholism Counseling And Prevention

A shocking article that previous USA Today health reporter, Jayne O’Donnell shared with me today.

Unfortunately I can only read the beginning of the article before hitting a pay wall, but the information I could read is heart-wrenching.

Just click on the X to exit out of the first window to view a lot of the article.

Over 178,000 alcohol related deaths each year in the United States is simply inexcusable for us not to be doing something to prevent it.

The Deadliest Drug, a new investigative series, shows that the alcohol epidemic is a generational failure of the medical and public health systems, of industry, and of government.

Please explain to me why this disgusting sign is funny when over 100,000 people die in the US every single year from the legal DRUG of alcohol that is literally TOXIC TO THE LIVER!!!

Not to mention the hundreds of thousands of people still suffering from their addiction to it.

Not to mention the millions of family and friends of all of them that suffer as well.

So what is so funny about this?!…Help me understand!!! 😡💔😭

WHAAAA HOOOOOO! FINALLY….They did the right thing! They reversed the cuts that they were planning to cut grants for helping people with Alcoholism, Addiction and Mental Health problems that would have killed many people like my precious loving daughter! Thank you Dear God!

INFURIATED does not begin to express how I feel about this horrific move.

Have we learned nothing?!?!?

We need MORE help for people suffering from alcoholism, addiction, and mental health problems.

I’m so ANGRY right now.

We have worked so hard to make things better and now this!

Shame on anyone who thinks these people don’t deserve the life saving help that these programs and services provide.

Many people will die because of this! 😡😡😡😡😡

The Trump administration sent hundreds of letters Tuesday terminating federal grants supporting mental health and drug addiction services.

I hope this side effect is true. Maybe it could lead to improved addiction treatment! 🙏🌹🙏

Finally….Someone who cared enough to get educated on how to really help save lives! I salute everyone of these heroes who are working so hard to get it right! ❤️👏

Chesterfield County Sheriff Karl Leonard once thought his job was to keep drugs out of the jail. But that started to change in 2016, when he saw an increase in incarcerated people with addiction problems.

The jail had no way to treat them, and inmates would end up getting released back into the community. They would use, overdose and die.

“I realized I was part of the problem,” Leonard said. He googled “addiction treatment” and found John Shinholser, an ex-Marine who runs a recovery center 45 minutes from the jail. Leonard asked how he could get a treatment program at his jail.

“If you’re serious, you’ll be in my office in an hour,” Shinholser said and hung up.

Leonard got in his cruiser and sped to Shinholser’s office. Shinholser rattled off all the things he thought Leonard could be doing at the jail. Leonard stopped him.

“If you’re serious, you’ll be at my jail in an hour,” Leonard said and left. They started “Helping Addicts Recover Progressively,” or HARP that evening.

Overdose deaths in Chesterfield County, Va., have dropped by half in a single year—about double the decline of the rest of the country—to levels seen before the crisis began in 2015.

The precipitous drops have astounded public officials and health-policy experts, who have traveled across the country in an attempt to learn the formula and replicate it. Governors, members of Congress and sheriffs from as far away as Alaska have all come through, along with an acting U.S. drug czar.

We should treat addiction as a HEALTH issue rather than criminal issue. Costs LESS/MORE effective. Would save many lives🌹
