Sauk County Response Teams Program – Ryan Ramnarace: 

Ryan Ramnarace with Sauk County Response Teams (SCRT) introduced himself and gave a presentation on the grant funded program that started in May 2021.  Ryan indicated when a referral is received the response team consisting of one peer recovery coach and two EMTs from Baraboo, Dells-Delton, Merrimac, Plain, Reedsburg, Sauk Prairie, or Spring Green make a home visit to contact the consumer.  Ryan has done outreach in the community with churches and other agencies who provide substance use services.  Referrals are received by email, phone, and online.  Referrals can be made by anyone for someone else along with self-referrals.  Ryan indicated a consumer completes the Wellness Recovery Plan which is then used to help the consumer get services.  SCRT is not affiliated with law enforcement or corrections.  Recovery coaches are mandated reporters if consumer is a threat to harm self or others.  Consumers can be involved in multiple services at the same time.  Discussed reaching out on social media.  Many referrals are word of mouth.  The response team consists of three recovery coaches and is currently serving approximately 30 consumers. 

Ryan emailed Michael Albrecht information describing the SCRT program and how to make referrals; this will be forwarded to the committee members.
