FSSA encourages Hoosiers to participate in survey to measure addiction treatment, recovery resources in Indiana<\/strong>
The Indiana Family and Social Services Administration\u2019s Division of Mental Health and Addiction announced the launch of the Recovery Capital Index, designed to measure the sum of resources necessary for an individual to initiate and sustain recovery from addiction and to help track the overall recovery capital of the state and communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The state of Indiana has invested more than $45 million of federal State Opioid Response grant funding over the past four years to combat the drug epidemic and improve mental health. DMHA plans to use aggregate and geographically analyzed results from the Recovery Capital Index to drive future decisions about funding and resource allocation. Chaudhary said mapping and measuring recovery capital will also allow DMHA to see the effect of its investment and track it over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To complete the Recovery Capital Index survey, text \u201cRECOVERY\u201d to 833-638-3784. All Hoosiers are encouraged to complete the survey, not just those directly affected by addiction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To help drive participation, Overdose Lifeline, Inc., an Indiana nonprofit dedicated to helping those affected by substance use disorder, will place stickers on over 200 NaloxBox units and 19 naloxone vending machines across the state. The stickers will prompt users to scan the QR code or text \u201cRECOVERY\u201d to 833-638-3784 to access the survey and additional information about naloxone, including training videos.
