Baker County builds alcohol and drug rehabilitation facility

City: Baker City, OR

Baker County is constructing a new facility to house Recovery Village, the area's alcohol and drug treatment program for men and women with children. In May 2008, Business Oregon awarded Baker County an $800,000 grant to construct a new alcohol and drug recovery facility that will expand the services to additional eligible clients. This facility serves women and men with children seeking treatment as a result of methamphetamine addiction, alcohol and other drug use. In treating these families, babies are born drug-free, families may be reunited, and parents may return as drug-free productive people reducing welfare and other associated costs.
