***Press Release***
Healing Tree Addiction Treatment Solutions, Inc., a private not for profit organization serving the population of the 13th Judicial District, has been busy securing resources for the treatment of those suffering from drug and alcohol addictions and the area service providers who help these addicts. Healing Tree acquired a Health Resources and Services Administration grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to purchase equipment to assist service providers in the treatment of drug and alcohol addictions. The latest acquisition is a Chevrolet Express van equipped to transport patients suffering from addictions or mental health issues to their necessary level treatment. The van was much needed in Kit Carson County as it can be many miles between the county and the nearest services. The van was awarded to the Kit Carson County Sheriff’s office and accepted by Kit Carson County Sheriff Tom Ridnour in an award ceremony held in Sterling on Feb. 15th.
Healing Tree has also secured an educational kiosk for the District Attorney 13th Judicial District office. Many meth testers were also purchased and donated to many county law enforcement agencies and hospitals throughour northeast Colorado. Soon the Healing Tree hopes to help offset the costs of replacing outdated intoxilizers in the northeastern Colorado counties.
Healing Tree remains committed to achieiving its eventual goal of securing funds to provide the region with an in-patient treatment and detox facility as currently none exist in the 13th judicial district counites. Transportation costs to other regions where facilities do exist is expensive and seperating patients from their homes in order to receive treatment makes treatment hard on patients and their familites.
