Talbot Goes Purple launching new interactive online tool to find help for substance abuse

TALBOT CO., Md. – Talbot Goes Purple announced a new interactive online tool that’ll make it easier to find help for substance abuse.

Talbot County Sheriff, Joe Gamble, said this will be their 5th year of Talbot Goes Purple.

The online tool kit answers peoples questions and then points them in the right direction for help and treatment providers.

Sheriff Gamble said he hopes this new resource will make finding help easier.

“I think sometimes people are afraid to ask these questions, they are afraid of the stigma that sometimes unfairly can be attached to this, so I think it’s going to provide our community with a way of going in their anonymously, finding out information and then reaching out directly with those providers,” Sheriff Gamble said.

We’re told Shore Bank Stepped up with a sponsorship that made the tool’s development happen.
