Seven Counties Services (SCS) is proposing to expand its Community Based Peer Support Recovery Services in Jefferson and the surrounding rural counties of Trimble, Henry, Spencer, Oldham, Bullitt, and Shelby. SCS will add a total of 6 new positions with this funding: a Program Director, Program Coordinator, 3 full-time and one part-time Certified Peer Support Specialists. All existing or new staff members for this project will have lived experience with Substance Use Disorder and/or Co-Occurring Disorder, and will be or become Credentialed Peer Support Specialists. Recovery Support will be offered at every level of care, including a warm hand-off in the referral process, outreach and engagement in the community including homeless outreach, harm reduction, recovery education, recovery coaching, ASA reduction/retention, Group facilitation, life skills (coping skills, time management), 12 Step Facilitation, and community education/engagement. The population of focus for this program is low-income men and women with SUD; pregnant and parenting women with SUD; and individuals with SUD living in rural communities. This program aims to decrease barriers faced by vulnerable populations in accessing all levels of treatment for SUD; to increase the likelihood of continued participation in treatment by offering recovery support; to increase the number of babies born drug-free and decrease the number of families separated due to substance use disorders. Service delivery expansion will begin on 9/30/2022 and will be based at four primary service sites: 600 Preston Street, which is SCS' Addiction Recovery Center in Louisville; the Women's Addiction Recovery Center in Louisville; the Women's Renaissance Center, SCS' residential treatment center in Shelbyville, and rural services will be based out of our office in Shepherdsville, Bullitt County KY.
