Session 3 Where can we find help to wrangle the elephant

The Hillsdale County Board of Commissioners held a session on June 2, 2026, focused on community services supporting addiction recovery. The meeting featured presentations from healthcare and behavioral health professionals discussing medication-assisted treatment (MAT) options, peer support services, outpatient and residential treatment programs, and harm reduction strategies. While the session primarily centered on treatment approaches and community support, there were no direct procurement or contracting discussions such as contract awards or budget allocations. The dialogue emphasized the need for expanded local treatment programs, increased access to MAT, and community education to reduce stigma and improve recovery outcomes.
