Health Officials Eye Recovery Stations Program For Addicts; Public Meeting Set For Monday

SNOW HILL – The Worcester County Health Department is seeking the community’s support to launch a pilot program that offers recovery stations to those seeking help for their addiction.

On Monday, April 15, the health department will host a public meeting with community stakeholders to discuss a grant-funded program that establishes recovery stations in Worcester County.

Jennifer LaMade, the health department’s director of planning, said the program allows those seeking help for addiction to walk into a fire station or police station and receive assistance.

“What we want is a place where individuals walk in, feel welcomed, have their needs met and then have our crisis response team and peer support workers help them start their recovery,” she said.
