<v Speaker 2>Welcome to the fifty five Carsite Morning Show. It's a

28
00:01:27.840 --> 00:01:28.959
<v Speaker 2>pleasure having you on today.

29
00:01:29.680 --> 00:01:31.120
<v Speaker 3>Good morning, Thank you for having me.

30
00:01:31.200 --> 00:01:33.079
<v Speaker 1>Well, I'm excited to let my listeners know and let

31
00:01:33.120 --> 00:01:35.239
<v Speaker 1>you let my listeners know what you're doing there at

32
00:01:35.239 --> 00:01:38.719
<v Speaker 1>the First Step Home, which is I guess you're unique

33
00:01:39.319 --> 00:01:41.879
<v Speaker 1>in that you are an addiction treatment center, but you're

34
00:01:41.920 --> 00:01:45.680
<v Speaker 1>the only ones in the area that allow children up

35
00:01:45.760 --> 00:01:48.640
<v Speaker 1>to age twelve to live with their mothers while they're

36
00:01:48.680 --> 00:01:49.480
<v Speaker 1>getting treatment.

37
00:01:50.599 --> 00:01:51.439
<v Speaker 3>We do, we do.

38
00:01:51.599 --> 00:01:56.200
<v Speaker 4>We are providing gender specific care and we have specific

39
00:01:56.239 --> 00:01:59.280
<v Speaker 4>programming for our pregnant, postpartum and parenting women.

40
00:01:59.680 --> 00:02:02.439
<v Speaker 1>Well, I suppose, and you can correct me if I'm wrong.

41
00:02:02.519 --> 00:02:05.560
<v Speaker 1>A lot of the reason people I'll call it self

42
00:02:05.640 --> 00:02:08.159
<v Speaker 1>medicaid and quite often get addicted is because they had

43
00:02:08.199 --> 00:02:12.599
<v Speaker 1>some underlying psychological struggle or issue they're dealing with, and

44
00:02:12.639 --> 00:02:15.280
<v Speaker 1>so rather than trying to wrestle through it with therapy

45
00:02:15.400 --> 00:02:17.439
<v Speaker 1>or which is the kind of thing you're providing, it's

46
00:02:17.479 --> 00:02:20.199
<v Speaker 1>easier just to mask it with the booze or the drugs.

47
00:02:20.280 --> 00:02:24.120
<v Speaker 1>And I but along those lines, and again correct me

48
00:02:24.120 --> 00:02:27.080
<v Speaker 1>if I'm wrong in my understanding. But if you're a

49
00:02:27.159 --> 00:02:30.120
<v Speaker 1>mother and you're taking away from your children why you're

50
00:02:30.120 --> 00:02:34.439
<v Speaker 1>getting treatment, that seems it might exacerbate the underlying mental

51
00:02:34.479 --> 00:02:36.199
<v Speaker 1>health challenges you may be dealing with.

52
00:02:37.000 --> 00:02:40.479
<v Speaker 4>Definitely, And that's absolutely one of the reasons that women

53
00:02:41.280 --> 00:02:43.479
<v Speaker 4>don't come into treatment a lot of times is because

54
00:02:43.520 --> 00:02:48.000
<v Speaker 4>they don't have care for their children. And so for

55
00:02:48.080 --> 00:02:50.400
<v Speaker 4>them to get help, it's very important for them to

56
00:02:50.400 --> 00:02:52.319
<v Speaker 4>be able to bring their children and keep their children

57
00:02:52.360 --> 00:02:52.919
<v Speaker 4>with them.

58
00:02:52.879 --> 00:02:56.599
<v Speaker 1>Well as a component of them on the path to

59
00:02:57.000 --> 00:02:59.879
<v Speaker 1>getting rid of the addiction on their path to becoming well.

60
00:03:02.159 --> 00:03:05.520
<v Speaker 1>Don't the children provide some measure of help along those lines,

61
00:03:05.560 --> 00:03:08.680
<v Speaker 1>Because you're looking at someone who's dependent upon you. You're

62
00:03:08.719 --> 00:03:11.639
<v Speaker 1>in a situation where you found yourself in treatment because

63
00:03:11.680 --> 00:03:14.319
<v Speaker 1>you have addiction. I would think having those children there

64
00:03:14.319 --> 00:03:16.159
<v Speaker 1>would be an inspiration for you to stay on the

65
00:03:16.240 --> 00:03:16.759
<v Speaker 1>right path.

66
00:03:17.280 --> 00:03:20.240
<v Speaker 4>It is absolutely a motivation for the women to do well,

67
00:03:20.520 --> 00:03:22.879
<v Speaker 4>and the women want their children with them, and their

68
00:03:22.919 --> 00:03:24.400
<v Speaker 4>children want to be with their moms.

69
00:03:24.479 --> 00:03:29.879
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Yeah, now you arranged for or children are still

70
00:03:29.879 --> 00:03:31.719
<v Speaker 1>able to stay in school while they're living there with

71
00:03:31.759 --> 00:03:32.280
<v Speaker 1>their mothers.

72
00:03:32.960 --> 00:03:35.159
<v Speaker 4>Yes, And we do our best to keep the kids

73
00:03:35.159 --> 00:03:36.520
<v Speaker 4>in the schools that they're going to.

74
00:03:36.639 --> 00:03:38.319
<v Speaker 3>But when that's not possible.

75
00:03:37.879 --> 00:03:41.319
<v Speaker 4>We get the children into school and the schools that

76
00:03:41.319 --> 00:03:42.039
<v Speaker 4>are close to us.

77
00:03:42.240 --> 00:03:44.319
<v Speaker 1>Okay, and you are located in Walnut Hills, I guess

78
00:03:44.319 --> 00:03:46.199
<v Speaker 1>I should say that we are.

79
00:03:46.240 --> 00:03:50.240
<v Speaker 4>We are in a nine building facility and we're located

80
00:03:50.319 --> 00:03:52.520
<v Speaker 4>all within one block in Walnut Hills.

81
00:03:52.719 --> 00:03:55.400
<v Speaker 1>How many women do you serve generally speaking?

82
00:03:55.680 --> 00:04:01.960
<v Speaker 4>On average nearly about two eighty annually and eighty Yeah,

83
00:04:01.960 --> 00:04:04.479
<v Speaker 4>and anywhere between thirty to forty children in our care

84
00:04:04.599 --> 00:04:06.240
<v Speaker 4>during that time. Wow.

85
00:04:07.759 --> 00:04:15.199
<v Speaker 1>Is there a sort of corollary between something underlying in

86
00:04:15.240 --> 00:04:19.120
<v Speaker 1>these women's life? Like you can say, okay, the most

87
00:04:19.120 --> 00:04:23.120
<v Speaker 1>of these women have experienced the following, whether it's poor childhood, upbringing,

88
00:04:23.399 --> 00:04:28.120
<v Speaker 1>socioeconomic issues, maybe family history, a genetic history of substance abuse.

89
00:04:28.160 --> 00:04:30.879
<v Speaker 1>I mean, have you seen a parallel or a trend

90
00:04:31.040 --> 00:04:34.120
<v Speaker 1>from your working with these women since nineteen ninety three, Rother.

91
00:04:34.959 --> 00:04:37.680
<v Speaker 4>Yes, absolutely, all the things that you've listed, in addition

92
00:04:37.759 --> 00:04:40.560
<v Speaker 4>to a significant history of trauma, lots of women who

93
00:04:40.920 --> 00:04:45.560
<v Speaker 4>have been in domestic violence relationships, physical abuse, sexual abuse,

94
00:04:45.600 --> 00:04:49.040
<v Speaker 4>sex trafficking, also homelessness.

95
00:04:49.680 --> 00:04:51.519
<v Speaker 3>Definitely, all the things that you listed as well.

96
00:04:51.680 --> 00:04:55.480
<v Speaker 1>Now in terms of addiction happens on every income level.

97
00:04:55.519 --> 00:04:59.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm just wondering you see a variety of socioeconomic mix

98
00:05:00.240 --> 00:05:01.839
<v Speaker 1>the women that you serve and help.

99
00:05:02.839 --> 00:05:07.800
<v Speaker 4>Yes, definitely, we've had pharmacists, nurses, doctors in our facility before.

100
00:05:08.240 --> 00:05:10.600
<v Speaker 3>Addiction definitely does not discriminate.

101
00:05:10.319 --> 00:05:12.240
<v Speaker 1>Fair enough, We'll pause. I want to bring you back

102
00:05:12.279 --> 00:05:14.920
<v Speaker 1>talk about some of the services you offer outreach and

103
00:05:15.759 --> 00:05:19.680
<v Speaker 1>this wonderful organization again first step home dot org, and

104
00:05:19.759 --> 00:05:21.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure they would be more than happy to take

105
00:05:21.680 --> 00:05:24.160
<v Speaker 1>a donation. Look right there, upper right hand corner of

106
00:05:24.199 --> 00:05:26.120
<v Speaker 1>the website, so you can help them out with these

107
00:05:26.120 --> 00:05:29.720
<v Speaker 1>wonderful services. We'll bring Morgan back after I mentioned affordable

108
00:05:29.720 --> 00:05:32.160
<v Speaker 1>imaging services so you don't have to pay crazy amounts

109
00:05:32.240 --> 00:05:35.720
<v Speaker 1>hospital imaging departments they're just profit centers, folks. I mean,

110
00:05:35.759 --> 00:05:37.439
<v Speaker 1>I know they're doing the image and I know it's

111
00:05:37.439 --> 00:05:39.199
<v Speaker 1>done on equipment that provides the image, and I know

112
00:05:39.240 --> 00:05:41.519
<v Speaker 1>there's a board certified radiologist is going to get a report.

113
00:05:41.560 --> 00:05:43.680
<v Speaker 1>You'll probably pay separate for that. But why is it

114
00:05:43.720 --> 00:05:45.959
<v Speaker 1>thirty five hundred bucks for an echo cardiogrammy? Why do

115
00:05:45.959 --> 00:05:47.480
<v Speaker 1>you have to wait around three weeks to a month

116
00:05:47.519 --> 00:05:49.000
<v Speaker 1>to get in there when you can go to Affordable

117
00:05:49.040 --> 00:05:52.399
<v Speaker 1>Imaging Services and get that exact same thing for five

118
00:05:52.480 --> 00:05:55.360
<v Speaker 1>hundred bucks without an enhancement or eight hundred with an enhancement.

119
00:05:55.600 --> 00:05:59.360
<v Speaker 1>The image price at affordable comes with the radiologist report,

120
00:05:59.439 --> 00:06:01.879
<v Speaker 1>so there's no sense wine items for that. Don't pay

121
00:06:01.959 --> 00:06:05.000
<v Speaker 1>five thousand for a CT scan. Do what I did.

122
00:06:05.000 --> 00:06:07.240
<v Speaker 1>Go to Affordable Imaging Service and get one for four

123
00:06:07.319 --> 00:06:09.839
<v Speaker 1>hundred and fifty with no contrast. I needed a contrast,

124
00:06:09.839 --> 00:06:13.279
<v Speaker 1>so it was six hundred bucks. Not a problem. Save myself.

125
00:06:13.319 --> 00:06:15.279
<v Speaker 1>He bloads the money and you can too. You have

126

00:07:52.920 --> 00:07:56.120
<v Speaker 1>home dot org. And what they're doing is providing that's

154
00:07:56.160 --> 00:07:58.759
<v Speaker 1>a nonprofit, I should point interject. They're providing support for

155
00:07:58.800 --> 00:08:01.879
<v Speaker 1>women with substance abuse as well as their children, and

156
00:08:01.920 --> 00:08:04.560
<v Speaker 1>the only area facility that allows children to live with

157
00:08:04.600 --> 00:08:09.040
<v Speaker 1>their mothers while they're getting this residential treatment or inpatient treatment.

158
00:08:09.160 --> 00:08:12.560
<v Speaker 1>How does that work now? Do you is it exclusively

159
00:08:12.839 --> 00:08:16.639
<v Speaker 1>residential or do you provide also outpatient services for women

160
00:08:16.680 --> 00:08:18.279
<v Speaker 1>who are seeking to get help with their addiction.

161
00:08:19.319 --> 00:08:23.360
<v Speaker 4>We provide a full continuum of care, so we have residential, intensive, outpatient,

162
00:08:23.360 --> 00:08:25.680
<v Speaker 4>and outpatient services as well as recovery housing.

163
00:08:26.199 --> 00:08:31.120
<v Speaker 1>Okay, and I guess you've been around since nineteen ninety three.

164
00:08:32.039 --> 00:08:34.279
<v Speaker 1>I did mention that my listeners could help donate to

165
00:08:34.279 --> 00:08:36.879
<v Speaker 1>your organization because of what the great work you're doing.

166
00:08:36.919 --> 00:08:39.799
<v Speaker 1>But how do you survive? Obviously, it's a very large

167
00:08:39.840 --> 00:08:42.559
<v Speaker 1>complex you have there, and that doesn't go without a

168
00:08:42.559 --> 00:08:46.639
<v Speaker 1>lot of overhead and maintenance and upkeep and salaries and

169
00:08:46.679 --> 00:08:49.159
<v Speaker 1>all that how do you generally cover the cost?

170
00:08:50.279 --> 00:08:52.279
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's a mixture of things, for sure.

171
00:08:52.360 --> 00:08:56.120
<v Speaker 4>We're definitely always looking at ways to diversify revenue. So

172
00:08:56.159 --> 00:08:59.279
<v Speaker 4>we're primarily Medicaid funded, but we are also supported by

173
00:09:00.559 --> 00:09:03.039
<v Speaker 4>by grants and foundations and individual donations.

174
00:09:03.200 --> 00:09:05.679
<v Speaker 1>Good. Obviously folks are aware about you, but to the

175
00:09:05.720 --> 00:09:08.240
<v Speaker 1>extent there's some business out there that wants to adopt

176
00:09:08.399 --> 00:09:11.120
<v Speaker 1>a charity, I would startally encourage them to reach out

177
00:09:11.159 --> 00:09:14.080
<v Speaker 1>to you. We do have a significant substance abuse problem.

178
00:09:14.120 --> 00:09:16.759
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I mean, are the numbers on the rise?

179
00:09:16.840 --> 00:09:19.960
<v Speaker 1>Do you see any positivity in the numbers or is

180
00:09:20.000 --> 00:09:22.000
<v Speaker 1>it a static thing over the years you've been doing this.

181
00:09:22.159 --> 00:09:23.159
<v Speaker 1>Where are we right now?

182
00:09:24.360 --> 00:09:29.159
<v Speaker 4>So there's definitely been some increases in different substances, so

183
00:09:29.240 --> 00:09:32.039
<v Speaker 4>different substances will be higher at different points. For sure,

184
00:09:32.120 --> 00:09:34.519
<v Speaker 4>we're definitely seeing increase in alcohol use in the.

185
00:09:34.480 --> 00:09:36.879
<v Speaker 3>Community and.

186
00:09:38.799 --> 00:09:42.159
<v Speaker 4>Definitely trying to just help in any way that we

187
00:09:42.200 --> 00:09:44.279
<v Speaker 4>can with whatever that comes at us.

188
00:09:44.320 --> 00:09:44.720
<v Speaker 3>For sure.

189
00:09:45.159 --> 00:09:48.120
<v Speaker 1>Now you involved with the court system, the family courts

190
00:09:48.159 --> 00:09:51.000
<v Speaker 1>for example, are you getting referrals from you know, women

191
00:09:51.039 --> 00:09:54.000
<v Speaker 1>that are in front of the judge because well, either

192
00:09:54.080 --> 00:09:56.679
<v Speaker 1>it was the substance itself that got them there or

193
00:09:56.759 --> 00:09:59.840
<v Speaker 1>a substance related problem that led them on some criminal enterprise.

194
00:10:00.039 --> 00:10:02.000
<v Speaker 1>It's got them involved in the criminal justice system. Do

195
00:10:02.480 --> 00:10:04.879
<v Speaker 1>they're aware of you in Hamilton County and elsewhere?

196
00:10:05.559 --> 00:10:06.120
<v Speaker 3>Absolutely.

197
00:10:06.159 --> 00:10:09.120
<v Speaker 4>We're also connected with the local drug courts and the

198
00:10:09.120 --> 00:10:14.000
<v Speaker 4>family courts and change court and definitely with children's services.

199
00:10:14.159 --> 00:10:17.320
<v Speaker 1>Now, what type of treatments are involved and is there

200
00:10:17.399 --> 00:10:21.279
<v Speaker 1>sort of a generally accepted rough time frame that this

201
00:10:21.759 --> 00:10:24.399
<v Speaker 1>you'll be involved with counseling if you're a patient or

202
00:10:24.399 --> 00:10:25.799
<v Speaker 1>someone seeking counseling there.

203
00:10:26.519 --> 00:10:29.000
<v Speaker 4>It's very individualized, so it really depends on how much

204
00:10:29.039 --> 00:10:30.000
<v Speaker 4>treatment someone's had.

205
00:10:29.919 --> 00:10:33.480
<v Speaker 3>In the past, and.

206
00:10:32.639 --> 00:10:35.480
<v Speaker 4>So they can be in treatment anywhere between thirty days

207
00:10:35.519 --> 00:10:36.799
<v Speaker 4>to a year or more.

208
00:10:37.519 --> 00:10:41.759
<v Speaker 1>Really, and in terms of overall long term success rate,

209
00:10:41.799 --> 00:10:44.279
<v Speaker 1>it's like a cancer diagnosis. You know, you're in remission

210
00:10:44.279 --> 00:10:48.320
<v Speaker 1>for five years and that's considered a success. Is there

211
00:10:48.320 --> 00:10:52.399
<v Speaker 1>a high recidivism rate in terms of the drug treatment

212
00:10:52.440 --> 00:10:54.919
<v Speaker 1>of people entering back into the program.

213
00:10:54.960 --> 00:10:55.480
<v Speaker 3>Definitely.

214
00:10:55.600 --> 00:10:59.600
<v Speaker 4>Statistically speaking, we're looking at individuals entering treatment anywhere between

215
00:10:59.679 --> 00:11:02.919
<v Speaker 4>four to seven times before getting long term recovery.

216
00:11:02.799 --> 00:11:05.679
<v Speaker 1>All right, So as opposed to one on one therapy,

217
00:11:05.720 --> 00:11:07.879
<v Speaker 1>which and I don't know if you offer that considering

218
00:11:07.879 --> 00:11:12.360
<v Speaker 1>the number of women in the facility, but this group

219
00:11:13.000 --> 00:11:17.679
<v Speaker 1>being together, all similarly struggling, I imagine that creates a

220
00:11:17.799 --> 00:11:21.000
<v Speaker 1>very supportive environment for the women. They're not alone. There's

221
00:11:21.000 --> 00:11:22.679
<v Speaker 1>a woman sitting right next to them that's got the

222
00:11:22.679 --> 00:11:25.519
<v Speaker 1>same struggles. They talk and interact among themselves. If I

223
00:11:25.559 --> 00:11:27.799
<v Speaker 1>have sort of a picture of what's going on there.

224
00:11:28.240 --> 00:11:31.279
<v Speaker 4>Definitely, it's definitely a sisterhood in a community. These are

225
00:11:31.360 --> 00:11:33.240
<v Speaker 4>relationships that women are going to have for the rest

226
00:11:33.240 --> 00:11:37.200
<v Speaker 4>of their lives. And we do offer individual therapy and

227
00:11:37.240 --> 00:11:43.440
<v Speaker 4>group counseling, case management, psychiatric treatment, and all those things

228
00:11:43.480 --> 00:11:44.679
<v Speaker 4>while they're in treatment with us.

229
00:11:44.879 --> 00:11:48.720
<v Speaker 1>Now, as for the children, obviously children are quite impacted

230
00:11:48.759 --> 00:11:51.159
<v Speaker 1>if their mother has a substance abuse problem, they may

231
00:11:51.200 --> 00:11:54.840
<v Speaker 1>have been dealing with neglect or abuse themselves. Do you

232
00:11:54.879 --> 00:11:57.519
<v Speaker 1>offer services for the children that are staying with their

233
00:11:57.559 --> 00:12:01.080
<v Speaker 1>mothers there along those lines mental health or services.

234
00:12:01.480 --> 00:12:03.679
<v Speaker 4>So we have a childcare on site to help support

235
00:12:03.679 --> 00:12:07.480
<v Speaker 4>the moms, but for treatment services, we are partnered with

236
00:12:07.600 --> 00:12:11.879
<v Speaker 4>wonderful agencies in the community, including Gladhouse and Cincinnati Children's Hospital,

237
00:12:12.480 --> 00:12:15.159
<v Speaker 4>to provide any ongoing care for the kids that they need.

238
00:12:15.120 --> 00:12:17.639
<v Speaker 1>Well that's great. Well, I can encourage, you know, to

239
00:12:17.679 --> 00:12:20.080
<v Speaker 1>keep up the great work, and I will strongly encourage

240
00:12:20.080 --> 00:12:23.039
<v Speaker 1>my listening audience out there to maybe pass a donation

241
