After reading the article in the PDN (July 31) on the medicatio- assisted treatment clinic meeting I have a question:
Since this is a for-profit business, partly funded by a state grant money ($7.2 million), why doesn’t the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe build the center on tribal land in Blyn?
Seems like it would be less of a problem than building in the city of Sequim.
It was said in the meeting that there are empty beds in other treatment centers on the Peninsula, so I am not so sure about the need for more self-admission treatment centers.
I spent 32 years in the fire service in Southern California, dealing with drug addicts. You do not want one of these treatment centers in your neighborhood.
Also, unfortunately there is a high recidivism rate with opioid addiction treatment.
The city needs to look at all the public concerns and prohibit this project now.
Not after the center is started.
