The opioid crisis in Fairfax and statewide and throughout the United States is impacting so many people. Fairfax County is making a huge effort to fight this drug and to help those struggling find a way out of their addiction. In this episode we welcome back Casey Lingan who is the General Counsel for the Fairfax County Sheriff. In addition to having Casey back on the show, we were lucky to have Laura Yager who is the Director of Health and Human Services at the Fairfax County Adult Detention Center and who has been working in the county for almost 30 years. We also welcome Ellen Volo onto our show. Ellen is the Coordinator for the Opioid and Substance Use Task Force here in Fairfax County. These three guests along with Fairfax County Sheriff Kincaid are doing all they can to prevent deaths from using opioids and to put services and treatment and programs in place for those in the jail, on pretrial services, or those being sentenced for crimes where they have an addiction to opioids. We all are amazed at all they are doing to help give people a fighting chance at a different path in life.
In this podcast episode, our focus was on jail-based opioid services. However, Fairfax County also has a LOT of opioid and substance use resources available for the general public too:

LEGAL DISCLAIMER:
If you are listening to this podcast, thank you! We sincerely hope you are listening to this podcast for its entertainment value and not with the intention of acquiring legal advice for any individual case or situation. I mean, come on! You wouldn’t take advice from someone you have never met or spoken to directly, right? If you were bleeding profusely, you wouldn’t listen to a podcast in hopes of a bandage somehow materializing over the internet and onto your 3D printer. Seeking actual legal advice can be just as important as a tourniquet. The hosts of this podcast are in no way intending to create an attorney-client relationship with any listener. Sorry. We are sure you all are great people but we cannot stress enough how little we know of you and your case and rather than risk an awkward moment, let us just remember we have never met. Nothing on this platform be taken as legal advice for any individual case or situation! We are just a group of friends with differing opinions and viewpoints which we will try to explore through discussions of current events, law changes, and whatever else floats our fancy.
