“We like to be at the forefront of change. The opioid crisis affects our community just like others around the state.'
LAFAYETTE — Before-and-after pictures of Mary Shandon Rhode tell the story of a journey through addiction and recovery.Rhode is currently in a work release program at the Tippecanoe County Community Corrections Center. She is currently six months sober, but she has seen firsthand the struggles that people battle going through their journey with addiction and recovery.
Rhode has relied on resources provided by the corrections center — the same resources others can learn about, thanks to a Naloxone vending machine that is designed to save lives. A total of 43 Narcan kits have been dispensed in the Tippecanoe County community through a vending machine.“We like to be at the forefront of change. The opioid crisis affects our community just like others around the state, this is just an opportunity for us to be a part of the criminal justice system but also be a part of the recovery community,” Huber said.
