The Prairie Ridge Opioid Treatment Program announced its opening last week. The OTP will provide methadone to patients who are in need of this evidence-based treatment. Already the OTP is serving six patients who can receive access to this medication closer to home.

Methadone treatment saves lives, reducing all-cause mortality by approximately 50%. It stabilizes individuals on a long-acting opioid medication, reduces cravings and withdrawal symptoms, and supports recovery by allowing people to return to meaningful, functional lives.

We sincerely appreciate the support from Cerro Gordo, Floyd, Kossuth, Mitchell, Hancock, Franklin, and Worth Counties for use of their opioid settlement funds that made this clinic possible.

🌾 Help Us Recognize Our Prairie Ridge Staff 🌾

We recently introduced to our staff The Prairie Award, a monthly recognition that will highlight Prairie Ridge employees who go above and beyond and live out our mission, vision, and values.

Each month, we'll review nominations submitted by patients and coworkers to help us identify staff members who have made a meaningful difference in the care and support we provide.

If a Prairie Ridge staff member made you feel supported, listened to, or cared for, we invite you to share your experience by scanning the QR code in the photo or using the link to submit a nomination: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/PrairieRidgeAward

💙 Final Week to Pay It Forward at The Blue Heron 💙

This week is the last opportunity to participate in The Blue Heron Bar & Grill’s Pay It Forward meal program benefiting Prairie Ridge. When dining at The Blue Heron, guests can choose to purchase an extra meal that will be delivered to Prairie Ridge and shared with patients who may be in need.

We are incredibly grateful to The Blue Heron and our community for the generosity shown through this program. Every meal truly helps lift someone up on their journey.

If you’ve been meaning to take part, this is the week to do it!

We wanted to share some of the fun from this year’s Prairie Ridge's Annual Halloweenie Roast! Nights like this show just how special things become when community spirit and teamwork come together.

A huge thank you to everyone who helped make this event a success: from those who volunteered their time to those who came out with their families to celebrate with us. Your support and energy are what make this tradition so special. 🧡

We'd love to see your photos also! Tag us or share them in the comments below!

• Mental Health & SUD Counselor

👉 Apply here: https://prairieridge.bamboohr.com/careers

For those wondering, "What is an ACT Team?"
ACT (Assertive Community Treatment) is a team-based approach that meets people where they are, literally. Instead of expecting individuals to come to us, we bring support to them in their homes or in their communities.

Our team walks alongside people on their journey, offering therapy, medication support, crisis response, and help with everyday living skills. The goal: build trust, reduce hospitalizations, and support people in living independently and achieving their personal goals.
