Vance Recovery is part of the Vance County Substance Abuse Collaborative, a group of providers that work each day to help clients who are battling opioid addiction.
John Mattocks is Vance Recovery’s program director and he spoke on behalf of the county collaborative to Vance County Board of Commissioners during the public comment section of the July 10 meeting.
“We serve 400 people a day burdened by twin epidemics,” Mattocks said, referring to opioid use and overdose.
The individual groups joined forces as a collaborative to try to generate “energy and focus” in light of the risks brought on by opioid use.
“We are ready to serve in whatever capacity would be helpful,” Mattocks told the commissioners.
Vance County is scheduled to receive a share of the $26 billion nationwide opioid settlement and Mattocks said the collaborative stands ready to provide support to county leaders as they determine how and where to spend those funds.
