Overdoses in Oregon are on the rise – and on the North Coast, community leaders are struggling to keep up. Over the last couple of months, I’ve had the privilege of working on a story for The Astorian and EO Media Group looking at gaps in access to residential drug treatment. In the process, I’ve learned about the barriers people face in getting help, and the steps service providers, county officials and the Oregon Health Authority are taking to turn the page. It isn’t a fun topic – but it certainly is a timely one, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to write about this issue through a local lens. Check out my story to learn more. https://lnkd.in/g8XT_MVz
