Kentucky State Police offering help to those battling addiction

WESTERN KENTUCKY (KBSI)- The Kentucky State Police and the Kentucky Office of Drug Control Policy are focused on saving lives through the Angel Initiative.

Under the initiative, anyone battling addiction can come to any Kentucky State Police post and get help finding treatment.

Individuals who arrive at a KSP Post should expect the following:

– Provide a photo ID or other means of identification. It’s helpful to have a copy of your insurance information, but a lack of insurance does not disqualify you from participating.

– Individuals will be asked to sign a ‘Participant Agreement Form.’

– If an individual has any drugs/drug paraphernalia, they will not be charged, jailed or investigated. The drugs and/or paraphernalia will be confiscated.

– Individuals will be asked to provide information during the intake screening to determine the best treatment options.

– If at any time during the intake process, an individual decides to discontinue services, the individual may do so without any consequences. This is a voluntary program.
