The funding, which is being made available through the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, will be used by the Indian Township Health Center to expand substance abuse treatment services. I am pleased the United States Department of Health and Human Services has awarded this significant grant to the Passamaquoddy Health Center. It is imperative that substance abuse be addressed in a comprehensive way. These resources will enhance the effort to accomplish this goal, Representative Baldacci commented.
Substance abuse has a detrimental impact on society.
It takes a substantial human toll and is a drain on the economy and quality of life in our communities. This federal support will enable more individuals to obtain treatment and will have a beneficial impact on the entire community, Baldacci added.
