Sara Blue, is currently the Director of Benevolence at Calvary Church here in Grand Rapids. She has an amazing background. In her distant past, Sara was herself addicted to hard drugs. But, through the grace of God, she now has been in long term recovery which means being off all opiates for over 15 years. Following her own freedom from drugs, Sara has done much to help many others find help. Sara has done a number of trainings and speaking engagements all over the United States on topics of Trauma Informed Care, Medicated Assisted Treatment and Recovery Oriented Systems of Care. For the last 12 years, Sara has been doing outreach with people who are experiencing homelessness and discovering how to support those individuals in bettering their lives. Part of this work was in her Directorship with Unlimited Alternatives, a nonprofit who served 140 people a day who were experiencing homelessness, substance abuse issues and severe mental health issues. But most significantly, Sara was born again as a true follower of Jesus Christ almost 4 years ago. As a result, she is now more passionate than ever to serve all people who might be in a time of need, by sharing the Gospel with them, and clearly showing them Christ's love, mercy and grace. In this podcast, Sara tells the story of how her life deteriorated to the point that she became addicted to heroin, and then how she was delivered from that addiction. She ultimately became a leader in a treatment center, but was still feeling emptiness in her heart. Then, through amazing circumstances that only God could orchestrate, she came to faith in Jesus Christ and found the ultimate joy that has no regrets and continues forever.

On this episode of Chemical World, hosts Kenna Crampton and Maggie Seldeen chat about medicated assisted treatment for opioid use disorder and alcohol dependency.

This week on Gin & Justice, Justine and Amanda interview Kate, a chemical dependence treatment counselor. Does that sound like a mouthful? What is that?  Kate fills us in and tells all about addiction. Kate discusses how those suffering from substance abuse disorder tend to wind up in the criminal justice system as a result of their addiction and why treatment of those suffering from a substance abuse disorder is more effective than incarceration. Justine, Amanda, and Kate discuss the stigma surrounding Medicated Assisted Treatment, or M.A.T., and why M.A.T. is life saving and as Kate calls it, simply the standard of care.  Kate emphasizes that the path forward for dealing with addiction in the criminal justice system must include treatment and legal minds working together to solve the underlying issues.  

CEO of the Esper Treatment Center, Jennifer Esper, shares her nearly 20 years of experience in providing MAT or Medicated Assisted Treatment to those suffering with Opioid Use Disorder.

She also reveals something called "Methadonia" and explores how Opioid Use Disorder has morphed into the use of any and all drugs which is the basis for the term "Garbage Can Addicts".  This podcast was recorded prior to the Coronavirus Pandemic and the CDC recommendations of Social / Physical Distancing.
