There is now a new center in Baldwin County aimed at tackling substance abuse
Welcome to Longleaf Recovery. Helping people close to home since this is the first Longleaf facility in our area.“We knew that there was a need in Alabama. We had no idea that it was as big as it was when we got started in Birmingham. Especially down here in South Alabama. Just cause it’s so far away from the options in North Alabama. They desperately needed a quality treatment option here,” CEO Colin Harris said.
Longleaf Recovery treats a wide array of patients with different needs like mental health, alcoholism, and drug addiction. And for law enforcement, this could help keep people out of jail by providing the treatment that they need. “What a great resource that we have in our area. Hopefully, it cuts down on the number of arrests that we have to deal with. We deal with the underlying problems in mental health or substance abuse that normally cause criminal behavior that we’re addressing. So, we oftentimes address the criminal aspect of it, but it’s not addressing the underlying issue,” Spanish Fort Police Chief John Barber said.“This is a passion project for me.
