Staffed with trained professionals, it provides individuals with information about rehab, detox services, mental health services, and recovery services. The team, wearing protective masks and gear, will also offer free Narcan training.
The van, which is decorated with a purple ribbon to signify recovery, represents a unique way to blend law enforcement and social services in helping to prevent drug overdoses and deaths.
Residents are encouraged to stop by for access to detox, rehab, and mental health services, as well as for information, support, and free Narcan.
