Ta. “Their mission and values align perfectly with those of Adams County. By prioritizing mental health, we are investing in the well-being and health of our entire community.”
AMHR will use these funds for detoxification and walk-in crisis projects that will increase transportation of eligible customers from Adams County to AMHR’s existing withdrawal management program locations. AMHR will consult and collaborate with Adams County and other local stakeholders to develop a comprehensive plan for new service delivery locations for withdrawal management that meets local needs.
