Work Will Start on LC Detox This Monday

On Monday, May 14th, at 11:00 AM, Lehigh County Executive Don Cunningham will hold an official groundbreaking news conference for the Lehigh County Detoxification Center for inpatient treatment of drug and alcohol addiction issues.

After more than a decade of work to find a location for a county-owned site in Lehigh County, construction is finally ready to begin for the provider-run facility that will accommodate 31 residential clients for detoxification and rehabilitation.

The facility is located next to the Lehigh County Community Corrections Facility on River Road in Salisbury Township.

  1. I'm all for helping out those in need of treatment but does the local government need to be the ones to fill the void?

  2. They have to do it. It's ordered by the state. Welfare and public health and addiction issues go through the counties.

    They won't have time to get HIGH!

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
