Dear Friend, Please accept my best wishes and prayers as you enter this new phase of your life. I wish you success and happiness in your Recovery. I am also writing to let you know about the alarming increase in opiate and heroin overdoses in Hancock County. We know of too many stories of a person who overdoses after a period of “clean” time away from opiates or heroin. This may happen after incarceration or following a short time at a treatment center. Under these circumstances, people lose their tolerance and cannot safely use the dosages they could prior to incarceration or treatment. It would be best if heroin users never relapsed. Let’s make one thing very clear – there is no “safe dose” of opiates or heroin – and the only way to completely avoid an overdose is to not use at all. If a person does return to using, they may die if they try to resume using the same dose they last used. Some things shown to reduce deaths from opiate and heroin overdose when a person relapses include:
Not using alone, but instead having other people around in case problems occur.
Using smaller doses than the dose used before getting “clean.” Furthermore, any use in combination with any other drug or alcohol greatly increases your risk of a fatal overdose. If you have any questions about this packet, suggestions for additional information to include, please contact any of organizations at the bottom of the page. We are all hoping for the best for you! Sincerely, Dr. Mark Fox, Hancock County Coroner

Ohio’s 9-1-1 Good Samaritan Law Seek Help and Save a Life
The 9-1-1 Good Samaritan law will provide immunity
from minor drug possession offenses for qualified individuals that make a good faith effort to obtain
emergency medical assistance during a drug overdose.
Who will be a qualified individual, and what are minor drug possession offenses? Qualified individuals are individuals that: seek assistance for another individual that
experiences a drug overdose; experience a drug overdose and seek assistance; and experiences an overdose and become the subject of another person seeking medical assistance.
What are the responsibilities of qualified individuals to receive immunity? Qualified individuals must comply with peace officers and get a behavioral health
screening within thirty days of the overdose.

If you know someone who needs help, please call 2-1-1 for information about local treatment and support services.
LANGUAGE MATTERS Language is powerful – especially when talking about addictions.
Stigmatizing language perpetuates negative perceptions. “Person first” language focuses on the person, not the disorder.
When Discussing Addictions…
SAY THIS… …INSTEAD OF THIS
Person with a substance use disorder Addict, junkie, druggie

How to Support Someone in Recovery from Addiction
Don’t judge. Many people in recovery feel judged by
their family and friends. Accept them for who they are
and refrain from criticism and negativity.
Be patient. Recovery can be a long, complicated
process. People often have setbacks. It’s important for
them to know that you support them when things get
tough.
Reinforce that recovery is possible. Like other chronic
diseases, people can manage addictions successfully.
Actively listen. Take notice of your loved one’s
victories and struggles.
Encourage healthy habits. Cooking, exercising and
playing games are all positive, substance-free activities
you can do with a person in recovery.
Suggest a support group. Support groups allow people
in recovery to interact with and receive
encouragement from others who struggle with
addiction.
Continue to offer encouragement and support.
Emphasize that it takes a lot of courage to get help for
an addiction.
Take care of yourself. Take time to participate in
activities you enjoy. Spend time with others, or
consider joining a support group for friends and
families of people with addictions.
Tips for Talking with a Loved One About Substance Use
Talk with them in a quiet, private place when both of
you are sober and calm.
Try to understand the person’s own perception of
their substance use. Ask if they believe their substance
use is a problem.
Consider the person’s readiness to talk about their
substance use.
Do not force the person to admit they have a problem.
Express your point of view by using “I” statements, like
“I have noticed…” or “I am concerned…”
Identify and discuss their behavior rather than criticize
their character.
Let the person know that you are concerned and
willing to help.
Listen without judging the person as bad or immoral.
Do not label or accuse the person of being an “addict.”
Treat the person with respect and dignity.
Have realistic expectations for the person – learning
to manage a brain disease takes time.
Addiction and Recovery
What is Addiction?
Addiction reflects the highest level of progression of a substance use disorder.
Addiction is defined as a chronic, relapsing brain disease that is characterized by compulsive drug seeking and use, despite harmful consequences.
It is considered a brain disease because substances change the brain’s structure and how it works.
Brain changes caused by substance use can be long lasting and can lead to many harmful, often self-destructive, behaviors.
Addiction is characterized by inability to consistently abstain, impairment in behavioral control, craving, diminished recognition of significant problems with one’s behaviors and interpersonal relationships, and a dysfunctional emotional response.
Like other chronic diseases, addiction involves cycles of relapse and remission. Without treatment or engagement in recovery activities, addiction is progressive and can result in disability or premature
What is Recovery?
Recovery is a process of change that permits an individual to make healthy choices and improve the
quality of his or her life. There are many pathways to recovery. Individuals
are unique with specific needs, strengths, goals, health attitudes, behaviors and expectations for recovery.
Pathways to recovery are highly personal, and
generally involve a redefinition of identity in the face of crisis or a process of progressive change.
Furthermore, pathways are often social, grounded
in cultural beliefs or traditions, and involve informal community resources, which provide support for sobriety.

Ohio’s 9-1-1 Good Samaritan Law Seek Help and Save a Life
The 9-1-1 Good Samaritan law will provide immunity
from minor drug possession offenses for qualified individuals that make a good faith effort to obtain
emergency medical assistance during a drug overdose.
Who will be a qualified individual, and what are minor drug possession offenses? Qualified individuals are individuals that: seek assistance for another individual that
experiences a drug overdose; experience a drug overdose and seek assistance; and experiences an overdose and become the subject of another person seeking medical assistance.
What are the responsibilities of qualified individuals to receive immunity? Qualified individuals must comply with peace officers and get a behavioral health
screening within thirty days of the overdose.
