With the news that the Talbot County Narcotics Task Force seized the largest heroin bust in county history this week, it is very likely than many of the estimated 400 to 600 active heroin users on the Mid-Shore will be facing a major shortage of the drug’s supply. For those addicted to the substance, the anticipation of the shortage will undoubtedly cause severe and life threatening withdrawal symptoms.
The Spy and the Mid-Shore Recovery Community want to alert those individuals that it may be an ideal time to seek treatment for their addiction rather than face a painful withdrawal process. We are recommending that they contact Chesapeake Treatment Center in Easton as a starting point.
The CTS is a clinic located just off our Route 50 dedicated to the recovery of individuals struggling with opioid addiction. You can start the process for treatment here
We would also remind those suffering from addiction to go here to see a summary of resources on the Mid-Shore.

Thanks to the task force and for putting it out there to get help. No need to be ashamed for wanting to have a better life. There are resources and services available, you just have to be willing to want a new way of life and help from persons who understand. reach out for Peer Support services or teatment in your area.
