A new Seattle pilot program offers new access to addiction treatment
Manage episode 474843877 series 3303135
Seattle has tried, and is still actively trying, many different approaches to addiction treatment: law enforcement diversion programs, housing first, medication assisted treatment, drug court, outreach work, the list goes on.
Now, the city has added another attempt to that list by piloting a new program that aims to get people into treatment faster by expanding access to private rehabs.
Guest:
- David Kroman, Seattle Times city hall reporter
