The first coherent and systematic approach to reducing drug overdose deaths and overcoming addiction in America. When communities support the milestones of personal recovery, they save lives.
SHARP shows how communities can make progress against the overdose epidemic, even as black market drugs are becoming more toxic. The book is based on nine years of research in Northern Kentucky, a region plagued by criminal drug traffickers who have flooded communities with fentanyl, methamphetamine, and other powerful substances.
The data shows that the SHARP approach works. SHARP’s plain-language approach stabilizes people quickly and supports them on their path towards recovery. It stops criminal behavior and helps people move forward in their lives with the support of family, friends, and neighbors.
