Officials with a company serving more than 100 Kentucky counties say they’ve helped more than 20-thousand Kentuckians get into substance use disorder treatment since 2018. Johnathan Gay is the deputy legal counsel for Addiction Recovery Care. He said their liaison team looks for people in distress in a wide variety of places, including courtrooms, jail cells and community meetings.
“They have been very successful at what they do many of them, if not, most of them, are in recovery themselves. So they're subject matter experts on addiction. And they're trying to find people, John that are literally in a crisis.”
