Indiana’s Family and Social Services Administration adds five new opioid treatment program

1

Medication assisted treatment facilities to open in Allen, Johnson, Monroe, Tippecanoe and Vigo counties

 The Indiana Family and Social Services Administration (FSSA) today announced the agency will add five opioid treatment programs (OTP) as part of the state’s coordinated effort to attack the drug epidemic. Indiana will have 19 OTPs to administer medication assisted treatment or “MAT” to qualifying Hoosiers currently recovering from substance use disorders. The treatment uses FDA-approved medications to help people manage their addiction so that they can maintain the benefits of recovery.

FSSA Secretary Dr. Jennifer Walthall made the announcement today and was joined by Governor Eric J. Holcomb and Jim McClelland, Indiana’s Executive Director for Drug Treatment, Prevention and Enforcement at Valle Vista Health System, a new OTP site in Greenwood, Ind. Secretary Walthall also announced beginning Aug. 1, most Indiana Medicaid members, including all Healthy Indiana Plan (HIP) members, will have coverage for all services provided in an OTP, including coverage of methadone for substance use disorder.

“Adding five opioid treatment programs to the 14 that currently serve Hoosiers will add considerable capacity to a network of programs that treated more than 10,000 Hoosiers in 2016,” Dr. Walthall said. “Adding Medicaid and HIP coverage of medication assisted treatment will remove a significant barrier to treatment for those seeking to improve their lives.”

In addition to Valle Vista in Johnson County, new OTP certifications have been awarded to the Bowen Center in Allen County, the Hamilton Center in Vigo County and Sycamore Springs, which will have facilities in Monroe and Tippecanoe counties. These OTPs are anticipated to begin offering services by before June 30, 2018.

“There is extraordinary evidence that patients receiving medication assisted treatment are more likely to remain in treatment and to reduce opioid use than those who do not,” said Dr. Walthall.
“Ensuring medication assisted treatment is an available option to additional Hoosier communities is a significant tool to help attack Indiana’s drug epidemic,” said Dr. Walthall.

FSSA used a data-driven approach to determine the locations for the five new treatment centers by reviewing locations of recent overdose deaths, drug-seizure data from law enforcement data from hospital emergency rooms to assist with reducing driving time for individuals in need of treatment. Locations of FSSA’s existing OTPs are listed here, and there is one additional site in Indiana operated by the Veterans Administration.

Lawyer In Gay Marriage Case joins Indiana Congressional Race

Lawyer In Gay Marriage Case Joins Indiana Congressional Race

IL for www.theindianalawyer.com

An attorney who led the lawsuit that overturned Kentucky’s gay marriage ban wants the Democratic nomination to challenge first-term Republican U.S. Rep. Trey Hollingsworth for his southern Indiana seat in 2018.

The announcement from Dan Canon of New Albany, Indiana, renews attacks on Hollingsworth as “an opportunistic multi-millionaire” who isn’t interested in listening to most people.

Hollingsworth and his father spent more than $3.5 million last year in overcoming attacks labeling him a carpetbagger from Tennessee to win the 9th District seat.

Canon represented same-sex couples who were denied marriage licenses in 2015 by Rowan County, Kentucky, clerk Kim Davis. She was jailed for not following court orders.

Hollingsworth’s spokesman didn’t immediately respond to messages Thursday seeking comment.

Bedford orthodontist Tod Curtis also has announced he’s seeking the Democratic nomination.

Diana Tkachenko finishes freshman season ranked 20th in region

0

The 2017 Missouri Valley Conference Freshman of the Year – the University of Evansville’s own – Diana Tkachenko – finished the 2017 season in the final ITA Regional Tennis Rankings.

Tkachenko completed her inaugural collegiate season ranked 20th in singles in the Ohio Valley Region.

“This past season had so many positives; it has really been such a positive affirmation that others have taken notice,” Purple Aces head coach Jayson Wiseman said.  “For Chieko to have made the MVC All Select team and Diana to be named Freshman of the Year were great accomplishments for the program.”

“To have Diana recognized as one of the top 20 players in our region is really something for her and our team to build on,” Wiseman added.  “Looking at the players ranked ahead of her, she has beaten several of them in the past and a number of those players were seniors this year. After talking with Diana once the rankings came out, she is very motivated to improve on that ranking and really help push our whole team forward. She and I are both excited to get back to work this fall!”

During the 2016-17 season, Tkachenko went 31-8 overall and 6-1 in MVC action.  She began the year with an impressive showing in the fall, highlighted by a 2nd place finish at second-flight singles in the MVC Individual Tournament, which was hosted by UE at Wesselman Park.
