Worcester County Health Department is raising addiction awareness

In order to help raise awareness about substance abuse, prevention, and treatment, the Worcester County Health Department is hosting two public open houses in September.

• 1-3 PM, Thursday, September 29 at the Center 4 Clean Start, 926 Snow Hill Rd., Cottage 200.
• 1-3 PM, Friday, September 30 at Worcester Addictions Cooperative Services, 11827 Ocean Gateway, West Ocean City.

Both of these open houses are free and open to the public, and each will be an opportunity to learn about the recovery services offered at the centers.

• Center 4 Clean Start provides behavioral health services for pregnant and postpartum women of Dorchester, Somerset, Wicomico, and Worcester counties.
• WACS offers counseling and treatment for anyone with substance use disorders.

Organizers say that there will also be opportunities to speak with staff and clients, testimonials from individuals in recovery, and refreshments at both of the open houses.
