\"This proposed program capacity expansion leverages targeted staffing increases to enhance the scope and effectiveness of outpatient substance use disorder care for adults in Johnson County,\" said Caitlin Lane, director of business development at Terra Treatment Center, which she described as a Joint Commission‑accredited and state‑certified provider. Lane spoke from lived experience and noted Terra’s history of treating people referred by the courts.

Terra asked for funds to add one full‑time case manager (converted from part‑time) and two part‑time peer recovery coaches. The center said those staff would support an estimated 100 additional clients annually through outpatient services, partial‑hospitalization and intensive outpatient tracks. Terra reported a current annual outpatient caseload of about 130 adults and said 50 percent of its clients experience homelessness while roughly 30 percent are justice‑involved. The center said new staff will provide care coordination, housing and legal referrals, peer support, Medicaid‑eligible services and outcome tracking.

Lane described peer recovery coaches as having measurable impacts on engagement and hospitalization rates and said Terra uses a Track 9 informatics system to monitor client outcomes weekly and for up to a year after discharge. Terra said it will credential staff to bill Medicaid and incorporate salaries into its operating budget beginning in year two, with ongoing grant pursuit and performance‑driven funding to support sustainability.

Board members asked about jurisdictional eligibility and were told Terra’s outpatient services are for Johnson County residents and its intensive outpatient program meets locally in Franklin. No formal vote was taken; the advisory board will consolidate funding requests and present recommendations to the Board of Commissioners on July 28.

Lane said the expansion targets people with opioid use disorder, people who inject drugs, those with chronic relapse histories, co‑occurring mental health conditions and justice‑involved individuals. Terra expects the additional case management and peer supports to reduce acute care utilization and improve continuity of outpatient care.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Opioid Advisory Meeting 7-23-2025","oneSentenceSummary","Terra Treatment Center presented a plan to expand outpatient capacity by adding a full‑time case manager and two part‑time peer recovery coaches; the center said the expansion would enable treatment for about 100 additional Johnson County adults annually and that staff will bill Medicaid and pursue grant and performance‑based funding.","taxTitle","Johnson County, Indiana","taxId",4101,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6147666,"Infants in Bloom reports early progress, seeks matching funds to expand home‑visit care for opioid‑exposed infants",640,3036000,3676000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5520239-854be618c02d913667fb4be444c679a5&start=3036&end=3676","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5520239-854be618c02d913667fb4be444c679a5/thumbnail_3036000.jpg","/articles/6147666/Johnson-County/Indiana/Infants-in-Bloom-reports-early-progress-seeks-matching-funds-to-expand-homevisit-care-for-opioidexposed-infants","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6147666-99e2115c0f5970c39b5a1f8b10d9c4e0/orig.mp4?Expires=1770438014&Signature=kCjg9U5UVGpTwMQH8ANHu4sAMS7qXhgCahOU-Rh1U5k48KgqwyaG5Rx-dXv03xwQHZpK-fpK98-lTRF5n316-yoA5Sw~gKEZBW6OX~OqP9f9R2hl9ciogqd1kBlzPB4hhbuTFafVLp3BNkGp23bhZOojuhLTYM0Jw2HrDZ5AnXH6XCUgLgNZ9lOdsDxoDn3EffrEimsKoytMqjOJo~ScXgIqEy3feGGVvMoJ5LVYHeebllfV2qaK01n0VHH39z3tT-IfIah4aJ-BOmcydq4jXXYvY-HhgGKQ-plsmWjdkkDpv12ObpxF6IB2xkzru8UzCHlTrceiDiNDkIF8vR6onQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Infants in Bloom told the Johnson County Opioid Advisory Board on July 23 that its pilot medical home‑visit program for opioid‑exposed infants is operational in three counties and has begun Medicaid billing, but the group requested local funding to leverage a state matching opportunity.

\"We provide specialized care for infants ages 0 to 2 in their homes,\" said Dr. Holly Robinson, founder of Infants in Bloom. She said the program aims to mitigate the long‑term developmental effects of prenatal opioid exposure through frequent home visits, developmental assessment and care coordination.

Robinson said the program was one of the advisory board’s December awardees and has since implemented an electronic health record, completed five Medicaid contracts, hired a nurse practitioner for Johnson County and obtained a Department of Child Services (DCS) contract that allows Infants in Bloom to continue care when babies move between placements. She reported that the pilot currently serves eight infants across Johnson, Jefferson and Switzerland counties and expects to reach 10 as additional pregnant referrals deliver.

Robinson said the program received a $55,000 award from the advisory board in December and has started receiving Medicaid reimbursements as part of its sustainability plan. She also said Infants in Bloom submitted a letter of intent for a state‑level match that could double local funding — up to $150,000 — under a preventative‑care/substance‑treatment funding bucket. \"If given $50,000, we would turn that into $100,000,\" Robinson said, describing how a local award could unlock the state match.

Board members and community speakers, including Judge Mark Lloyd, praised the program’s niche work with infants and urged support. No formal funding decision was made at the meeting; the advisory board will consolidate requests and present recommendations to the Board of Commissioners on July 28.

Robinson emphasized continuity of care: because infants frequently move among biological, kinship and foster placements, Infants in Bloom sought contracts and Medicaid billing arrangements that allow the team to follow infants regardless of placement. She said care is intensive—weekly home visits and 24/7 access through an app—and that small caseloads were intentional to optimize outcomes and data collection for future research partnerships.","Infants in Bloom updated the advisory board on a two‑year pilot providing in‑home medical care to opioid‑exposed infants: the group has billed Medicaid, secured Department of Child Services contracts, is serving eight infants across three counties and seeks additional local funds to unlock a state match.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6147671,"Edinburg support group seeks childcare, youth curriculum and van to expand recovery services",955,1935000,2890000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5520239-854be618c02d913667fb4be444c679a5&start=1935&end=2890","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5520239-854be618c02d913667fb4be444c679a5/thumbnail_1935000.jpg","/articles/6147671/Johnson-County/Indiana/Edinburg-support-group-seeks-childcare-youth-curriculum-and-van-to-expand-recovery-services","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6147671-07eefc3df1654d571cfc8785b29c3d64/orig.mp4?Expires=1770438014&Signature=XzsKODC1xxmQYW7jOnk2vOHlNXx-XhBMUlmWdo9eKvaDQTAtzmrpaKMC2ge~wbz86BE5PS0F~lfRIy1bfxNvdFlVmJIBBcuZekuPYPFozGr5r11LNOn17CnqggkP~0HZN2aJS3KTkek~ZgqP7IpAEkaPilVoy60VR38DHQUfjbOkLLSBQL3KayTQG8Ajsc-P2LkcOLXms~YETTiWI3BkCZdht5iaUaIrdGLK9m5x6tMKzTm2E6T4fuINSLDhdwH0zElTq6u~e2zO5yZOthA9gfXEaECtzNVb0IVhApLLbDVPFvCr~vnzeV1PYBzu3S0I7ppj0Rgf5A3sLMUq9rL-lg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Rodney Burton, ministry leader for Celebrate Recovery in Edinburgh, asked the Johnson County Opioid Advisory Board on July 23 for funds to add childcare, youth programming, equipment and transportation to his support‑group work.

\"We want to target these kids to prevent them from following in their parents' footsteps,\" Burton said, describing an intention to use Summit Recovery youth curriculum alongside the adult lessons and to provide nursery and supervised childcare so caregivers can attend meetings.

Burton said Celebrate Recovery meets weekly in the Fellowship Building of the Edinburgh Church of the Nazarene and averages 40 to 50 people per meeting, with roughly one‑third justice‑involved. He described tripled attendance since the group moved to its current site and said many attendees are parents or caregivers who bring children; the lack of childcare can deter participation. He also requested funds for background checks and paid childcare leaders, updated computer and audio equipment damaged by a lightning strike, a protective TV enclosure, and a van for scheduled transport to ensure consistent attendance.

Burton said the group uses Summit Recovery curriculum for children and an adolescent opioid safety scale and an overdose knowledge questionnaire to measure outcomes. The group distributes naloxone through Overdose Lifeline under the state standing order and provides meals and other community supports in coordination with area churches.

Board members asked practical questions about liability and sustainability. One board member flagged insurance and registration costs for a van and insurance for equipment; Burton acknowledged those needs and said the group would require background checks and reliable staff. Another board member suggested collaboration with existing county services rather than duplicating efforts.

No formal funding decision was made at the meeting. The advisory board will consolidate requests and present recommendations to the Board of Commissioners on July 28.","Celebrate Recovery of Edinburg told the Johnson County Opioid Advisory Board it wants funds for child care, youth curriculum, audio/IT equipment and a van to improve attendance and reach justice‑involved participants and children affected by parental substance use.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6147676,"Local prevention group seeks funding for SOFR coordinator to speed overdose‑death reviews",1090,140000,1230000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5520239-854be618c02d913667fb4be444c679a5&start=140&end=1230","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5520239-854be618c02d913667fb4be444c679a5/thumbnail_140000.jpg","/articles/6147676/Johnson-County/Indiana/Local-prevention-group-seeks-funding-for-SOFR-coordinator-to-speed-overdosedeath-reviews","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6147676-3e5826793bfc433e587e829e1598088f/orig.mp4?Expires=1770438014&Signature=VQ-n-mg8ZRUcFhrygrnBAieocyp13Ck4wM1WBN432LKAoQ-MWDUqJ505KwFaPuGlkjizJRq-BHdl8wZuOat5CYC2LSoXJuqLcyktUhpzsz8pICHz-laQZPDCkfulf~3PnKoq88A4FoxmN5Pkx-dK1D91qbyRxhOD9CPzwA~ZlBJmxTmGXB3F4EQtM9SdCT8lBE4X3Gwh8KtYYux6FCU1njTXIPxxBH77SdCDu38hKifToKoaGGyytGdUm9uRqOWlfZxs5LxWZmuiwyUcCsPYXBAx0uM4-XwENwKYIKDs2CYQPSAaqBG7ec7iLXnKh1iPaPoVULzPQG2obv4mvms2Wg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Upstream Prevention asked the Johnson County Opioid Advisory Board on July 23 for money to hire a part‑time coordinator to run the county’s Suicide and Overdose Fatality Review team and help implement its recommendations.

The SOFR team reviews recent overdose and suicide deaths to identify missed opportunities for prevention and produce policy and program recommendations. \"Our mission is to fix that bridge,\" said Kathleen Ratcliffe, executive director of Upstream Prevention, using an upstream/downstream analogy to describe systems work. She said the team meets about 10 times a year, reviews two to three recent deaths per meeting and shares recommendations that local partners can act on.

The nut of Ratcliffe’s request was operational: she asked for funds to post a part‑time position to compile case information, coordinate partners, run meetings and follow up on recommendations. She said those follow‑up tasks have fallen on her and have limited the team’s effectiveness over the last six months.

SOFR has produced tangible changes, Ratcliffe told the board. She said EMS departments now leave a resource packet after nonfatal overdoses, Johnson Memorial Hospital (JMH) can refer patients to a peer recovery coach or community health worker, naloxone and test strips are more widely available countywide, and a local recovery café received first‑round funding. Ratcliffe said those actions grew out of SOFR recommendations because the team includes decision‑makers from law enforcement, hospitals, EMS, treatment providers and public health.

Ratcliffe described several priorities she hopes the coordinator would advance: formalizing next‑of‑kin interviews (currently discussed but not implemented due to capacity), expanding communication tools across agencies (she referred to a shared records platform called the Gulata platform), strengthening bereavement and traumatic‑grief supports, and pursuing a state RFP for transportation funding that requires a local match.

Board members asked clarifying questions. Jennifer Price (Franklin City Council) confirmed that Upstream already has an Indiana Department of Health overdose‑prevention grant (the Indiana Cares ECHO grant, roughly $95,000 annually) and that the state recently released a competitive RFP for opioid settlement funds requiring local match. Ratcliffe said the ECHO award is expected to continue through next August pending federal and state contracting delays. Pamela Burton (Johnson County Council) and other members pressed on volunteer status and sustainability; Ratcliffe said most partner attendees participate while on their employers’ time and that the coordinator could be supported with continuing grant funds, pooled sponsorship from major partners, or matched state funds if the county applies.

No formal decision was taken. The advisory board indicated it will review Upstream’s request and include recommendations when it presents funding proposals to the Board of Commissioners on July 28.

Ratcliffe closed by saying the coordinator would increase the SOFR team’s meeting efficiency and, more importantly, ensure the team follows up on recommendations that have led to immediate operational fixes in the past.","Upstream Prevention told the Johnson County Opioid Advisory Board it wants funds to hire a part‑time coordinator to run its Suicide and Overdose Fatality Review (SOFR) team, improve follow‑up on recommendations and pursue a possible state match for transportation support.","actionData","errors"]
