Empower Me Inc. focuses on treatment, recovery, abatement, and remediation services to combat the surge in opioid abuse and misuse that has caused devastation in our community, in addition to educating Delawarean adults and youth on Opioid use, misuse, abuse, and addiction prevention.
Our values follow the framework for trauma-informed care, creating an environment of respect which fosters competency, sensitivity, and cultural awareness. CLICK HERE for trauma resources from the DHSS library.
We cannot undo the loss of lives that have occurred due to the Opioid Epidemic. However, we can make a true impact in restoring the lives of those currently battling with Opioid misuse, abuse, and addiction. In terms of prevention, we can impact and educate our community by proactively saving family structures from the catastrophic effects of opioid misuse. We combat the challenges of individuals regarding treatment through direct provision and with a warm-hand process, including assistance with navigating referral services for treatment. Empower Me Inc. follows a humanistic approach by evaluating an individual as a whole rather than a single area of the individual’s life.
In our research, we find that identifying a person’s “why” for usage could be a gateway to the solution. Reasons have ranged from stress, pain (emotional and physical), and other aspects. The root-cause analysis for Opioid use will help combat Opioid misuse as a negative solution to a problem or stressor.
The Empower Me program’s approach is neither judgmental nor discriminatory. We plan to work beyond the typical stigma of Opioid use or misuse and assist each human with patience, understanding, and dignity.
