Substance Use Disorder (SUD) is a behavioral health disorder that affects millions in the United States, involving heavy use of alcohol and other drugs. SUD is widespread throughout the United States, and Jay County is not immune to the problem. A team is moving forward, however, to address the issue.
Jay County organizations are collaborating with partners in Blackford County in the Consortium for Opioids Response and Engagement-East Central Indiana, better known as CORE-ECI. The goal of CORE-ECI is to reduce drug use, abuse, and mortality with technical assistance from Purdue University and IU Health.
