IS LIVE IN HOOKSETT
WITH A CLOSER LOOK AT THE
PROGRAM THAT LAUNCHES THIS WEEK.
TIM: SAY STATIONS ARE NOTHING
NEW TO THE REGION BUT THE
OFFICIALS HERE AT THE HOOKSETT
FIRE DEPARTMENT SAY THAT AS THE
OPIOID CRISIS CONTINUES, THEY
WANT TO START ONE HERE IN TOWN.
IT WIL BE RUN VERY SIMILAR TO
THE ONE ALREADY UNDERWAY IN
MANCHESTER.
THE PROGRAM HERE AT THE FOLKS --
AT THE HOOKSETT FIRE DEPARTMENT
WILL BE OPEN 24/7 FOR ANYONE
BATTLING ADDICTION WHETHER IT IS
DRUG OR ALCOHOL AND SEEKING
TREATMENT.
A NONPROFIT IS ALSO BEING RUN
OUT OF MANCHESTER FOR OUTPATIENT
SERVICES.
AN INDIVIDUAL COULD BE BROUGHT
DOWN TO SERENITY PLACE BY AN
OFFICIAL HERE AT THE HOOKSETT
FIRE DEPARTMENT WHERE THEY WILL
RECEIVE TREATMENT.
SERENITY PLACE HAS BEEN WORKING
CLOSELY WITH THE MANCHESTER FIRE
DEPARTMENT AND THERE'S A STATION
PROGRAM.
OFFICIALS AT THE NONPROFIT
TELLING US THEY WILL PROVIDE THE
SAME TREATMENT TO THOSE IN
HOOKSETT.
>> YOU WILL BE ASSESSED AT YOUR
LEVEL OF CARE.
WE WILL TAKE CARE OF THE NEEDS.
WHETHER IT IS SERVICES FOR THE
HOMELESS OR THE EMERGENCY ROOM.
WE ARE TRYING TO REMOVE EVERY
BARRIER TO GET YOU TO THE
APPROPRIATE LEVEL OF TREATMENT.
TIM: IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE
THAT SERENITY PLACE DOES NOT
HAVE ANY BEDS.
IT IS AN OUTPATIENT SERVICE.
