Remembering those we've lost and the lives we are still fighting to save. -- Overdose Awareness Day 2024 stepworks

Today is Overdose Awareness Day.

Each life lost is a tragic reminder of the urgent need for compassion, education and action.

Addiction does not discriminate and neither should we. Let’s break the stigma and spread awareness. If you or someone you know is struggling, reach out. There is help available.

Education is the first step to making meaningful, positive change in our communities.
Our team at Stepworks was honored to collaborate with the Purchase Area Opioid Taskforce to discuss MOUD treatment at the Substance Prevention and Recovery Knowledge (S.P.A.R.K.) Summit in Paducah today.

Meet Access Center Navigator, Melissa!

Two years ago, Melissa joined the Stepworks team after graduating from Stepworks Residential and Stepworks Sober Living. As an Access Center Navigator, Melissa is often the first voice new patients hear. It’s a voice that genuinely understands.

In her spare time, Melissa loves reading, enjoying the outdoors, and concerts.

Thank you, Melissa! You personify the Stepworks mission to help people hurt by addiction reclaim their dignity and build a better life.

stepworks is thrilled to announce the recognition of Intensive Health Nurse Practitioner, Joyce Johnson as the 2024 American Association of Nurse Practitioners State Award for Excellence winner for Kentucky. This prestigious honor is presented annually to nurse practitioners who work to increase patients’ access to high-quality care in their state.

"Joyce has a unique gift that allows her to create and execute effective and sustainable solutions to complex medical and social conditions. She has a heart for those patients who are so easily lost within the medical system. It has been my great pleasure to work alongside her and witness her excellence in all that she does." - Dr. Tom Ingram, Stepworks Founder

"She actually thinks she can save the world each day. And when she does not save the world that day, she returns the next day to try again." - Deron Bibb, Stepworks Chief Financial Officer

Join us in congratulating Joyce!

Recovery is more than just a job. It’s a calling. Every year, we recognize a team member who made the stepworks mission their personal mission… someone who personified Stepworks in 2023.

Help us congratulate Kassi Wright and Dylan Rogers, the 2023 Stepworks Team Members of the Year.

According to Residential Operations Director, Tim Moses,

"Kassi sets a high standard for her staff and is an example of a strong leader. She is dedicated and has worked tirelessly at creating a culture at our Woodland facility that reflects the Stepworks mission. She is committed to creating an environment in which recovery is possible and goes beyond 100% in order to ensure that everyone who walks through our doors has a chance for success.

Dylan is a great example of our motto: “we will walk with you.” He displays a passion for working with our patients and sets a great example of what a life of recovery looks like. Since stepping into the role of shift supervisor he has shown strong leadership qualities and has become Blane’s go to person."

We are thrilled these two individuals are a part of the stepworks team!

Joyce Johnson is the Outpatient Clinical Services Director at Intensive Health by stepworks. She was featured on KET - Kentucky Educational Television Kentucky Health program to discuss Kentucky’s battle against substance use disorder. Here’s what she had to say:

“From education to location, addiction knows no bounds. Ninety-four percent of those who struggle with substances aren’t getting the help they need. This is a serious issue in our state.”

Stepworks is building a high-quality network of treatment resources to help Kentucky wage this fight. Check out Joyce’s full interview at the link below.
