New Milford hires 'At Risk Navigator' to tackle opioid crisis

New Milford Police have announced an overhaul to how the town deals with the opioid crisis.  In addition to a previously announced proactive approach to going after those that deal drugs to the community, there's a new initiative.  A Town of New Milford At Risk Navigator has been hired to help those addicted and their families.  Army veteran Justin Cullmer  held that same position for Nuvance Health.  He will provide the link to resources within the community and beyond to get the services needed.  The town is partnering with New Milford Hospital, bringing a connection to the Department of Social Services, Youth Agency, CARES and New Milford Coalition for Awareness and New Beginnings.  New Milford state Representative Bill Buckbee is working on legislation to get insurance companies to better cover treatment program.  Mayor Pete Bass is planning a meeting of all Town stakeholders on this issue in the near future.
