In response to the growing heroin/opioid addiction epidemic in Anne Arundel County, effective April 20th each Anne Arundel and Annapolis City Fire Station will be designated as a “safe environment” for individuals looking for assistance to start their path to recovery from heroin/opioid addiction.
At any time of day or night that an Anne Arundel County resident who is the victim of a heroin/opioid addiction decides or gathers up the courage to ask for help, they can go to any Anne Arundel County or Annapolis City Fire Station and speak to the personnel on duty. In close partnership with the Anne Arundel County Police and the Crisis Response Team, individuals seeking help will be assisted in obtaining the necessary detoxification resources.
