🔄 New funding tackles addiction crisis in Zanesville jails. The Zanesville-Muskingum County Health Department received over $105,000 from the OneOhio Recovery Foundation to implement a peer recovery support program in local jails. Nearly 50% of overdose deaths in Muskingum County involved recently incarcerated individuals, with more than half released within just one year of their death. The program will hire peer recovery supporters who have personal experience with addiction, creating a more relatable support system. This collaborative initiative brings together the health department, Muskingum Behavioral Health, local law enforcement, and the OneOhio Recovery Foundation to provide crucial resources for inmates transitioning back into the community.
