Addict Amnesty: Gloucester Police Help Heroin Addicts Seek Treatment
Gloucester Massachusetts launches a police walk‑in program to place heroin and opioid addicts into treatment rather than arrest. Since June 109 addicts have turned themselves in with 16 percent from out of state, most men, totaling about $5,000 in treatment costs to the department. The effort aims to expand access to detox, with police accepting drugs and paraphernalia, and funding from public private grants and seized drug proceeds.
