Jennifer Olson and Russell Williams host Small Town, Big Business in downtown Marion, Illinois, and interview Chrystal Cantrell, executive director of Take Action Today Inc., a recovery community organization serving Franklin, Williamson, Perry, Jackson, and Jefferson Counties with walk-in centers in Carbondale, Marion, and Benton/West City. Cantrell, a certified peer recovery specialist in long-term recovery, describes services including peer support, harm reduction education, Narcan and test kit distribution, transportation to treatment and appointments, laundry and clothing assistance, and plans for a thrift store. She discusses stigma, addiction as disease, homelessness realities, and the need for housing partnerships. The organization began after a homeless man’s death in West Frankfort, incorporated in 2020, grew rapidly, now has 18 staff, and runs ROSC councils, a youth prevention program (SIYEN), and a hotel-based respite partnership with Equality Inn and medical partners like Deaconess. She outlines volunteer, donation, and supply needs and shares contact details (takeactiontoday.net, Facebook, and center addresses).
