Sandra Boucher has been a Registered Nurse since 2013 and serves as the Addiction Services Outpatient Director at Primary Care Centers of Eastern Kentucky Recovery and Beyond Program as well as Program Director for the Perry County Quick Response Team. Through her various roles at PCCEK, Sandy has been instrumental in developing programming and services for families struggling with Substance Use Disorders. Sandy began work with Pregnancy and Beyond, a program offering behavioral and medical treatment for pregnant and parenting women with Substance Use Disorders. Soon after assuming this role, Sandy assisted in growing this program to treat not just women, but men and entire families. This resulted in the program now known as Recovery and Beyond. Sandy then partnered with the community including the local hospital, health department, syringe service program, court system, law enforcement, and jail to expand the clinic’s efforts to the community. In her work coordinating a Quick Response Team, Sandy assists victims and families within 24-72 hours of an overdose. She also works towards overdose prevention throughout the community. This includes Narcan distribution and linkage to Casey’s Law resources, which she advocated to get grant funded and brought in house at the clinic. Sandy was instrumental in getting Perry County designated a Recovery Ready Community.
