The Worcester County Health Department and the Ocean City Fire Department held a tour of the Safe Station at the 15th Street fire station in Ocean City on Wednesday. The Safe Station, which opened on Sept. 1, is for people seeking drug addiction treatment to receive immediate, basic services and a referral to a treatment program.
According to Mike Trader, assistant director for Worcester County’s behavioral health program, when a person walks in for addiction services, he or she will be medically evaluated by emergency medical services staff. Staff may transfer the patient to a hospital if he or she has outstanding medical issues.
If there are no outstanding medical issues, fire house staff will call the Worcester County’s peer support group and someone will come over to speak with the patient in a designated room and determine the patient’s program needs. These programs could be in-patient or out-patient treatment or a recovery group.

Hey Joe ....
So more promoting illegal activity, and harboring criminals, illegals, and pedophiles, God we all should be so proud of Gov. Hogan.
A park vehicle, genius. Keep eating crayons.
