If you or someone you know needs help with an opioid use disorder, please call our facility. We do admissions six days a week, Monday through Saturday. Call 844-288-1324 anytime to schedule an appointment. We also provide free Naloxone for anyone who might need it; this is available in our lobby at 4265 S A St, Mon-Fri, 6a-12:30p.
In the past 30 days, the Wayne County Coroner’s Office has investigated five suspected overdose deaths. That number is higher than during the same period last year and reflects a concerning trend in our community.
Area law enforcement and first responders are also seeing an increase in overdose and “man down” calls across the county within the last 30 days. Information shared with our office suggests that a more potent or dangerous supply of narcotics may be present in the area. We are urging everyone to stay alert, check on friends and family, and call for help immediately if you suspect an overdose.
We have also learned that Wayne County currently ranks 2nd out of Indiana’s 92 counties for most overdoses reported when compared to population. These are not just statistics. They are sons, daughters, parents, and friends whose life matters.
