Recovery

Kincaid Police wants you to know we will help anyone with addiction, if you take that first step and ask for help. On Thursday last week a young lady and her mother came into the station and the young lady asked for help. She was tired of almost dying from overdosing several times and her life was unmanageable, she is also a mother of young children. Kincaid Police spent several hours to find her a rehab center due to insurance issues. The earliest opening was six weeks away. This is way too long, she is here we have to get treatment today or stand a chance of her going getting high I advised the rehab centers all I was getting was we are full. We were able to locate a place three hours away, the first bed was not available till today at 8:30am. We were all concerned that 6 days is a long time. We kept in constant contact with the family, I am happy saying she made it to the center this morning at 8:30. We all pray that she stays the whole program to get clean and sober for herself and her kids. I want to thank her mother for being so consistent to getting her treatment. I wish the state had more resources to get individuals treatment faster.

Be Well
