Substance use disorder services: our substance use disorder services department serves individuals and their families who are dealing with substance abuse on the continuum from active users to those actively in recovery. We manage a 24/7 resource and recovery center that hosts programs for people at various stages of recovery and works closely on call with the local precincts and the da's office in a criminal justice diversion program for low level drug offenses and with a local hospital emergency room in a non-fatal overdose intervention program. And our harm reduction program provides active users with narcan training, clean syringes, support groups and information and medication assisted treatment options.
