Virginia — Good afternoon;
As you are well aware, the heroin and opioid dependency problem is growing across the nation, the Commonwealth, and our community is not being spared.
The CSB has adjusted resources to help meet this critical demand for people seeking treatment; a new program begins soon.
We need your help spreading the word about it. The CSB is holding an open forum for anyone who is seeking help for a loved one or knows of someone who might need help. Feel free to share this link:
http://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/csb/news/2016/forum-new-opioid-recovery-program.htm
Or print the attached pdf for your community associations, houses of worship, non-profit partners, and anyone else who can help spread the word.
The forum is not a commitment to treatment; it will provide information about treatment, addiction, and resources that are available to help- here and across the region.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
For logistical purposes, people can RSVP to myself or directly to a supervisor of our outpatient treatment team, Nhat Nguyen at 703-219-2561.
Thank you, in advance, for forwarding and sharing information about our important forum,
Be safe,
Lucy
