This is a horrible story, and she really needs some help.
Vernal, Ut.- On 4/16/23, Officer Ross responded to an overdose detail around 12:30 am. The caller stated she returned to a friend's house Motel room, and a female was on the floor, conscious but not coherent.
The non-coherent female was identified as 45-year-old Amanda Alexis Evers.
Upon Officer Ross's arrival, he located what appeared to be a suicide note from Amanda. EMS arrived on scene and took her to the ARMC for medical care. Officer Ross investigated the scene and left to check Amanda's status at the hospital.
A nurse told Officer Ross that they had found two baggies in Amanda's bra, and in these baggies was a crystal rock substance consistent with methamphetamine.
Officer Ross stated, "Based upon previous incidents with Amanda, I knew she had been found with meth on her person, and she has stated to me that meth was her substance of choice."
Given the circumstances, Officer Ross filled out an involuntary commitment form for Amanda to be evaluated, and she was accepted into the hospital's custody and admitted for the day. The hospital was informed to inform Officers when Amanda would be released so she could be taken into custody.
Amanda left the hospital without the Officers receiving any notification.
On 4/27/23, Amanda was located by Cpl. Johnstun, and arrested for additional charges.
In this case, Amanda was charged with possession of meth and possession of drug paraphernalia.

As part of a drug treatment program, behavior therapy — a form of psychotherapy — can be done by a psychologist or psychiatrist, or you may receive counseling from a licensed alcohol and drug counselor. Therapy and counseling may be done with an individual, a family or a group. The therapist or counselor can:
Help you develop ways to cope with your drug cravings
Suggest strategies to avoid drugs and prevent relapse
Offer suggestions on how to deal with a relapse if it occurs
Talk about issues regarding your job, legal problems, and relationships with family and friends
Include family members to help them develop better communication skills and be supportive
Address other mental health conditions
Many, though not all, self-help support groups use the 12-step model first developed by Alcoholics Anonymous. Self-help support groups, such as Narcotics Anonymous, help people who are addicted to drugs.
The self-help support group message is that addiction is an ongoing disorder with a danger of relapse. Self-help support groups can decrease the sense of shame and isolation that can lead to relapse.
Your therapist or licensed counselor can help you locate a self-help support group. You may also find support groups in your community or on the internet.
Even after you've completed initial treatment, ongoing treatment and support can help prevent a relapse. Follow-up care can include periodic appointments with your counselor, continuing in a self-help program or attending a regular group session. Seek help right away if you relapse.
