Throughout recent American history, those who suffer from addiction have been systematically imprisoned without receiving medical intervention. With no access to treatment, stable housing, or career opportunities, these individuals often find themselves in an ongoing cycle of abuse without the resources to begin recovery.\u00a0<\/span>While the United States spends upwards of <\/span>$74 billion<\/span><\/a> on \u201cincarceration, court proceedings, probation, and parole for substance-involved adult and juvenile offenders,\u201d just <\/span>$632 million<\/span><\/a> is spent on prevention and treatment initiatives.<\/span><\/p>\n

Phoenix, Arizona in 1969 wasn\u2019t immune from this public health crisis. Many young people were in \u201cdesperate situations, because of bad trips on drugs, overdoses, and drug-related suicide attempts.\u201d Due to fear surrounding the police and hospitals, these young people had nowhere to turn, but a small group of friends \u201cresponded to their need and reached out to help them with a belief that people can change and with a commitment to not give up on them. That was the beginning of Terros.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Terros, derived from the Latin root word \u201cterr\u201d meaning earth, serves to help \u201cpeople high on drugs come down to earth and become grounded.\u201d Today, <\/span>Terros Health<\/span><\/a> is a multi-faceted health organization specializing in primary medical care, mental health care, HIV\/STI prevention, and addiction recovery. With four integrated clinics and eleven additional sites across Maricopa County, Terros Health meets a diversity of needs in the Phoenix region. With their new series of branded custom condom products, Terros has amplified their outreach capabilities.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

During the growing AIDS crisis in 1987, Terros expanded their recovery initiatives to include HIV\/STD prevention. By keeping their community safe when they needed it the most, Terros Health poised itself to become a leader in primary health care throughout the Phoenix region. Not only does Terros offer a full range of testing options, they also offer a robust assortment of educational programming and PrEP resources. With affordable treatment on a sliding pay scale, Terros recognizes the needs of the vulnerable in their community and makes their health a priority.<\/span><\/p>\n

Seeking to raise greater awareness for the locations of their clinics and the services they offer, Terros enlisted the help of <\/span>Say It With A Condom<\/span><\/a> to provide a fun and easy way to engage with prospective patients.<\/span><\/p>\n
