GO. HERE AT METRO HALL, THE MAYOR WAS JOINED BY PEOPLE WHO ARE ON THE FRONT LINES OF THE CITY맥스카지노�S EFFORTS TO HELP THOSE WHO ARE BATTLING SUBSTANCE ABUSE, INCLUDING ONE MAN WHO STRUGGLED WITH IT HIMSELF. I LOST MANY JOBS, HOUSING, AND EVENTUALLY I WAS DIAGNOSED WITH HIV. RYAN JACOBS RECALLED HIS OWN BATTLE WITH DRUGS BUT SAYS ONE PLACE MADE A DIFFERENCE IN HIS RECOVERY. AND I UTILIZE THE HARM REDUCTION SERVICES AT THE LOUISVILLE METRO PUBLIC HEALTH AND WELLNESS DEPARTMENT. I CANNOT BEGIN TO TELL YOU HOW MUCH STRENGTH IT TOOK FOR ME TO BUILD UP TO BE ABLE TO WALK INTO THOSE DOORS. BUT LOOKING BACK ON IT NOW, I CAN TELL YOU THAT맥스카지노�S WHAT SAVED MY LIFE. THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT AND OTHER GROUPS WILL SOON RECEIVE MORE MONEY TO HELP THEIR WORK. METRO LOUISVILLE WILL RECEIVE A TOTAL OF $57 MILLION OVER 18 YEARS, WITH THE FIRST 7 MILLION COMING THIS YEAR AS PART OF A SETTLEMENT WITH OPIOID MAKERS AND DISTRIBUTORS. THEY SAW THAT THESE PILLS WERE MAKING A LOT OF MONEY WHILE ALSO DESTROYING LIVES AND FAMILIES AND COMMUNITIES. $1.5 MILLION WILL GO TO FOUR GROUPS DOING OUTREACH. THE KENTUCKY HARM REDUCTION COALITION. THE UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY맥스카지노�S TARGET FOR REGION FIVE FEED, LOUISVILLE AND LOUISVILLE맥스카지노�S HEALTH DEPARTMENT. THESE GROUPS HELP CONNECT PEOPLE TO TREATMENT AND PROVIDE THEM WITH SERVICES WHEN THEY맥스카지노�RE NOT READY FOR TREATMENT. SEE, YOU GUYS ARE USED TO HEARING SYRINGE SERVICES PROGRAM, BUT THAT SEEMS TO CARRY A STIGMA. SO LET ME JUST TELL YOU WHAT IT IS, IS DISEASE PREVENTION, DEATH PREVENTION, FENTANYL TEST STRIPS POISONING PREVENTION, $5.3 MILLION WILL BE AWARDED THROUGH GRANTS WHICH GROUPS CAN APPLY FOR STARTING THIS FALL. AND 250,000 WILL BE USED TO CREATE A COMMISSION TO DECIDE HOW THAT MONEY AND FUTURE FUNDS ARE SPENT. THE GOAL OF OUR RECOMMENDATIONS IS TO INCREASE OPPORTUNITIES FOR EVERYONE TO LIVE THEIR HEALTHIEST LIFE AND REACH THEIR FULL HUMAN POTENTIAL. JACOBS SAYS HE BELIEVES THE MONEY WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THE LIVES OF PEOPLE WHO ARE STILL STRUGGLING WITH ADDICTION. I맥스카지노�M A FIRM BELIEVER IN THE SLOGAN NOTHING ABOUT US WITHOUT US BECAUSE EVERY LIFE MATTERS. THANK YOU VE
