A local addiction support group is taking a new approach to recovery. 

At the Warner Hospital Health Fair, Maggie Memmot with DeWitt County ROSC told Regional Radio that ROSC stands for Recovery Oriented System of Care. They connect those who are struggling with addiction with resources that can help their journey through recovery. 

At the health fair, ROSC was distributing free Naloxone. Memmot indicates that many people are unaware of life-saving medications such as Naloxone that can stop an overdose. 

ROSC also promotes the DART program, which is intended to give people who are caught with illegal substances the opportunity to go to rehab facilities rather than going to jail. 

If you or a loved one is struggling with addiction, mental health issues, or suicidal thoughts or actions, reach the suicide & crisis lifeline by dialing 9-8-8.
