Episode Details

The Howard Center is reviving its public inebriate program, offering a compassionate alternative to ERs or jails for those found intoxicated in public. After shutting down due to staffing shortages, the program—now streamlined with virtual screening—is back online, connecting officers with Recovery House reps in real time to assess needs and direct individuals to appropriate care, including supervised beds or other resources. Starting today, Pine Street will host one supervised bed, marking a vital step toward more effective, supportive responses for people struggling with substance use.
