Team

Jefferson County’s QRT is based at the Jefferson County Health Department. Our team consists of peer recovery supports specialists, nurses and medical providers that can help with assisting, providing, or referring for addiction and recovery services. We are here to help individuals combating substance abuse disorders and families affected by a loved one struggling with addiction.

Community Service

We help participants connect with services and local resources such as the local food pantries, housing, and shelters. We participate in local community events  providing services such as naloxone distribution and HIV rapid testing.

Narcan/Naloxone

Naloxone training and kits are available free through the health department. We provide training and distribution to individuals, community groups, and organizations.

Treatments

We provide evaluation and treatment for Hepatitis C, HIV, sexually transmitted diseases, and xylazine associated wounds. We can also help participants attain mental health and primary care services through our referral system.

Social Services

We help participants obtain IDs, employment and Medicaid. We also are able to assist with transportation services for participants that need a ride to their treatment services.

Referrals

We provide referrals for participants to receive treatment and recovery services both locally and statewide. Our Peer Recovery Specialists help participants in an addiction crisis to obtain short- or long-term addiction treatment services. Plans are customized to participant needs such as telehealth, outpatient, or detox.

Peer Recovery Services

Our peer recovery specialists help assist participants during their crisis and enable them to find solutions to reach recovery. Individual or group support peer recovery services during and after office hours may be available upon request.
