An experienced Indiana business and nonprofit consultant, Thomas Stoughton has engaged with numerous clients to achieve solutions that have brought about lasting social change. Among Thomas Stoughton’s areas of focus is supporting addiction recovery as the chairman of the board of Progress House in Indiana.
In February 2019, the Daily Journal highlighted Indiana State Senator Jim Merritt’s introduction of Senate Bill 33, which would enable the establishment of nine Comprehensive Addiction Recovery Centers statewide. The current situation is one in which only 16 percent of existing clinic providers offer more than a single medication to patients undergoing substance-use disorder treatment. In addition to not offering both naltrexone and buprenorphine opioid-addiction medication options, a number of centers lack the kinds of behavioral remedies that significantly boost positive outcomes. The proposed network is based on a federal model that emphasizes personalized treatment and community collaboration in providing a comprehensive range of programmatic services. Along with access to Federal Drug Administration-approved medications, these include counseling, detoxification, and relapse prevention.
