SPH is proud to offer in house resources for recovery and addiction support, as well as partner with local agencies working within this realm.

  • Medication for Addiction Treatment (MAT):

    • SPH offers MAT which uses medications alongside other support to help treat substance use disorders (opioid and alcohol).

    • This approach treats addiction similarly to other chronic diseases like diabetes or heart disease.

  • Megan’s Place:

    Safe, confidential, and free community resource ran by a great team of discreet, helpful, trained volunteers twice monthly.

    Anyone in need can confidentially dispose of used needles & obtain clean needles, access free resources and information including naloxone (overdose) kits, sanitary products, free rapid on-site HIV and Hepatitis C testing, education resources, fresh cookies, and more.

  • Kachemak Bay Recovery Connection:

    • KBRC is a non profit organization focused on creating connections and building community for individuals in recovery or affected by addiction.

  • All Things Recovery:

    • ATR is a community task force committed to connecting individuals seeking addiction treatment and recovery services to local options and providing education on statewide resources to inspire hope for recovery.

  • Harm Reduction and Educational Talks:

    • SPH offers presentations and demos by educators aimed at equipping participants with the knowledge to recognize and respond to overdoses.

    • Short training sessions (typically 20 minutes) are available for organizations interested in learning these skills.

    • Naloxone overdose kits are also available upon request at any time.

  • Additional Resources:

    • Refer to this handout for additional information on safe options for needle disposal: What should I do if I find a needle?

    • South Peninsula Hospital accepts sharps on the second Wednesday of each month from 1 – 3 p.m. During this time only, sharps will be accepted from the public and only at the loading dock entrance, found on the lower level east side below the main entrance.
