The Circle of Caring was created by the Community Health Leadership Board (CHLB), a partnership of hospitals, healthcare providers and the City of Bangor that seeks to reduce stigma and increase understanding of substance use prevention, treatment and recovery. These Circle of Caring funds will provide immediate support for those returning to the community after a detox/rehabilitation program. The money will be used by the Public Health and Community Services Department to develop and distribute Survival/Comfort Kits to individuals suffering from addiction, including those returning home from detox/rehab. Specifically the goal of the CHLB and its partners is to decrease the likelihood of overdosing from opiate use. This was reviewed and recommended for passage at the Government Operations Committee meeting of October 3, 2016.
