SelfRefind specifically focuses on how to treat opioid addictions a growing problem in Vanderburgh County.

“With this, you know, it gives them a chance to heal that. You know, I’ve had a lot of them say their families talk to them or trust. Had one patient that his family let them now control the family business, before that they didn’t trust him,” says Dr. Alben Shockley.

They will be opening a new facility at the end of this year or early next year in Jeffersonville, Indiana.
