The day Corinne Bankosh met her son Jaxon was the day she swore off opioids forever.<\/p>\n

Before she gave birth, Bankosh lived in a tent with Jaxon\u2019s father, David Hatch. She became gravely ill about halfway through her pregnancy but was wary of going to the hospital, believing she wasn\u2019t that sick and anxious about how she\u2019d be treated because of her substance use disorder (SUD).<\/p>\n

Around the same time, peer case manager Trisha Munson, substance use disorder professional (SUDP) Glen Kelley, registered nurse practitioner Elliott \u201cBenson\u201d Bagwell and intensive case manager Brandon Rabisa came into Bankosh and Hatch\u2019s lives, determined to help however they could.<\/p>\n

Munson, Kelley, Bagwell and Rabisa are part of Greater Lakes Mental Healthcare<\/a>\u2019s Homeless Outreach Stabilization and Transition (HOST) team, along with a mental health professional and recovery coach. The program is administered by Recovery Support Services \u2014 a section of the Division of Behavioral Health and Recovery within the Washington State Healthcare Authority \u2014 to provide medical and mental health services, in-field SUD assessments and intensive case management to individuals experiencing houselessness who have serious behavioral health challenges.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe overarching goal is to bring everything a person needs together to change the trajectory of where they\u2019re going,\u201d Munson says. \u201cSo much of the time it involves donors and their generosity.\u201d<\/p>\n

Specifically, MultiCare Behavioral Health Foundation<\/a> supporters help bridge the gap between what\u2019s covered by the program contract and what it takes to care for the whole person.<\/p>\n

For Bankosh, this meant getting to MultiCare Good Samaritan Hospital and being treated for a life-threatening kidney infection. For Hatch, it meant having two teeth pulled free of charge.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe way I was raised, government or social workers had a bad connotation,\u201d Hatch says, sharing his initial hesitancy about HOST. But \u201cTrish and Glen and Elliott took the time to come out and check specifically on us and make sure we were all right. You could tell they wanted to be there to help, and they\u2019re like family to us now.\u201d<\/p>\n

Recovery at the START inpatient unit<\/strong><\/h2>\n

HOST staff facilitated a detoxification inpatient stay for Hatch and connected Bankosh with the donor-supported Substance Treatment and Recovery Training (START) inpatient unit<\/a> at Good Samaritan Hospital.<\/p>\n

In July 2022, START opened its doors to pregnant patients with SUD. Bankosh arrived to be admitted on Nov. 8 but ended up delivering Jaxon immediately. Two days after her son\u2019s birth and her first sober day, she entered the program.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s gonna take a long time for me to forgive myself for having a kid that was addicted to drugs,\u201d Bankosh says. \u201cThat was everything I was against and everything I didn\u2019t want to happen.<\/p>\n

\u201c[David and I] both had the mindset: \u2018I have to do this (rehabilitation) for my kids,\u2019\u201d she continues. \u201cAnd it was hard, but I was there for the full stint.\u201d<\/p>\n

Over the next 28 days, Bankosh was one of the first START participants to transition to Suboxone \u2014 a prescription medicine used to treat opioid addiction \u2014 postpartum. She met doctors, nurses and counselors who helped her stay the course.<\/p>\n

As she describes it, these included funny, down-to-earth SUDP Eric Siljeg; nurse Tanya Phelps, who still sends texts of encouragement; impactful Chelsea Crabtree, MD; the sweet and caring founder of START, Abi Plawman, MD<\/a>; and many more.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom our very first meeting, Bankosh was clear about her needs and what support would help her in her journey,\u201d Dr. Plawman shares. \u201cHer ability to communicate with her team and insist upon collaboration allowed multiple care providers to work together to help set up a functional support plan. Her motivation to engage despite significant barriers and her profound love for her baby were apparent throughout her time with us.\u201d<\/p>\n

Because of MultiCare Good Samaritan Foundation\u2019s<\/a> community of supporters, patients like Bankosh can start their recovery journeys in a safe space with an array of on-unit activities and wraparound resources. Dr. Plawman says the unit wouldn\u2019t be able to provide this care without donor generosity.<\/p>\n

A family reunited<\/strong><\/h2>\n

According to Bankosh and Hatch, their life has changed in every way since that summer day when HOST visited their encampment.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat we have now versus what we had before is a complete difference,\u201d Hatch explains. \u201cWe were homeless on the street with a few bags, and now we\u2019re inside, warm every night.\u201d<\/p>\n

HOST also assisted with the latter, drawing on community partnerships to get the family into a temporary substance-free housing situation.<\/p>\n

In February 2023, the family finally brought their \u201clittle man\u201d home after passing every observation with flying colors and completing all necessary steps and paperwork. Baby Jaxon has settled in beautifully and is most content in his parents\u2019 arms.<\/p>\n

Both Bankosh and Hatch are grateful to the donors who championed them on their months-long journeys toward recovery, healing and building a brighter future for themselves and their children.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019ve made a big impact, truly,\u201d Bankosh shares. \u201cThe only thing that really can show my gratitude \u2014 besides saying thank you \u2014 is to stay on the right track.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hatch credits Foundation donors and the people he\u2019s met along the way with reuniting his family and saving his life.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf it wasn\u2019t for these donors and these programs and our family, we probably would\u2019ve lost Jaxon to the foster care system,\u201d he reflects. \u201cWe\u2019d probably still be out on the streets. Without them, who knows if we\u2019d even be alive right now. You\u2019ve changed our lives for the better. Thank you.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false,"gt_translate_keys":[{"key":"rendered","format":"html"}]},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
