THE CHAMPION PLAN

*Launches Monday, February 29, 2016 For individuals with Substance Use Disorders (SUDs) and their friends, families and caregivers: Are you struggling with heroin, opioids, or other drugs? Know someone who is?

 IT’S TIME TO GET HELP Mayor Bill Carpenter, the Brockton Police Department, Stairway to Recovery and Brewster Ambulance with support from the Brockton Area Opiod Abuse Prevention Collaborative have created a unique program aimed at getting individuals the help they need.

 How Does it Work? If an individual comes into the Brockton Police Department and asks for help, an officer will ensure the participant is not a danger to themselves or others, and then take the participant to Stairway to Recovery safely. *Those with outstanding warrants are subject to arrest. From here, the participant will be paired with a volunteer “CHAMPION” who will help guide them through the process. We have partnered with the following treatment centers to try and ensure that this individual will receive the care and treatment they deserve – NOT IN DAYS OR WEEKS, BUT IMMEDIATELY.

 Our Partners:
 – Boston VA Healthcare System
 – Gosnold Treament Center
– High Point Treatment Center
 – Spectrum Health Systems
 – Adcare Hospital
– Norcap Lodge
 – Learn to Cope

 ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS COME TO THE POLICE STATION AND ASK FOR HELP. WE ARE HERE TO HELP.
