NORTHWOODS - Multiple Northwoods groups will work together to help people with drug addictions. Organizations in Price, Oneida, Vilas, Forest and Iron counties formed a larger group to help those with addictions.
It's called the North Central Region Opioid Consortium. It got a more than three million dollar grant from the state to use for a drug addiction program. The program will create individual plans for people.
"If we can help them not be committing criminal behavior, if we can help them stay in their home with their children, hold down a job, that's harm reduction," says Bob Kovar, Marshfield Clinic Center for Comm. Outreach. And we want to be able to find ways to help people live that way."
