I believe it was in April 2018 that Waldo County Deputy Sheriff Jason Trundy first contacted me, as director of a regional substance use treatment center, to help him in his quest to better coordinate jail, sheriff and medical services for people in our county with substance use issues.
Thanks to his persistence and leadership, we soon formed the Waldo Country Recovery Committee (WCRC), and within a month he had gathered representatives of the recovery, law enforcement, correctional and treatment communities together in a public pledge to reduce the number of drug overdoses in the county.
The WCRC has since thrived and remains an active source of many subsequent initiatives to improve our local management, care and treatment of those plagues by substance use.
