В Западном Монтане запускают первую медицинскую программу детоксикации от алкоголизма и опиоидной зависимости

Community Medical Center and Evergreen Healthcare Partners will host a community event Wednesday to mark the launch of what they describe as Western Montana’s only medical detox program. The program is designed for adults who are actively using alcohol or opioids and want to stop, but need medical supervision to safely manage withdrawal symptoms. Community Medical Center says an estimated 79,000 Montanans struggle with substance use disorders. While addiction treatment programs are available in parts of the state, hospital officials say many are intended for people who have already completed detoxification. The new program aims to fill a gap for people who need medical management during the earliest and often most difficult stage of recovery. Community Medical Center CEO Greg Cook is expected to speak during the launch event, along with representatives from Evergreen Healthcare Partners. The event will also include a patient testimonial. The gathering is scheduled for Wednesday, Sept. 9, at Community Medical Center’s Gallagher Room. Refreshments begin at 10:30 a.m., followed by a presentation at 10:45 a.m. Trending Police, SWAT responding to ongoing incident in Bozeman Bozeman police are asking people to avoid an area near Laurel Parkway and West Oak Street as officers and SWAT respond to an ongoing incident.The Bozeman Police Woman injured in bear attack near Whistler, black bear killed A woman was injured in a bear attack Friday evening in the backcountry outside Whistler, British Columbia.The B.C.
