Drug Addiction

Author: Cindy Maggard

Planning Unit: Knott County CES

Major Program: Accessing Nutritious Foods (general)

Outcome: Initial Outcome

A growing problem in our community is drug addiction.  They can have a serious impact on decisions and the ability to care for oneself.  The Knott County Drug Court provides rehabilitation to clients by helping them maintain sobriety, find work and be well.  In partnership with the Knott County Extension Office, drug court clients attended seven SNAP-Ed lessons.  The goal was to re-establish positive relationships with food and regaining their appetites after addiction.  As a result each client reported that they had developed nutrition practices such as planning meals, reading labels, or making foods without salt.  The participants also enjoyed lessons on resource management and 86% began using these practices such as, comparing prices, using grocery list and checking cabinets before compiling grocery list.
