The Bladen County Opioid Task Force will meet Tuesday at 2 p.m. in the Bladen Community College auditorium. All interested persons are invited to attend and take part.
The task force was recently awarded a $50,000 grant from Eastpointe MCO for a jail diversion program. Bladen County plans to partner with Southeastern Carolina Crossroads for services for men and Teen Challenge for services for women. Individuals who want treatment and in jail for non-violent drug-related offenses will be given an opportunity for treatment.
Some of the topics of discussion will include human trafficking, Project Echo, Southeastern Conference Information, Congressional District 7 opioid meeting, Eastpointe update, Teen Challenge update, and discussion of an opportunity for a grant from UNC Chapel Hill.
