Denver to strengthen mental health, drug abuse treatment
"In bolstering treatment options in the city and county, Caring 4 Denver will focus funding on housing for those in need of mental health or substance abuse treatment, as well as training for first responders, Will Fenton, legislative liaison Denver Department of Health and Environment, said Wednesday. Through this effort, the foundation hopes to reduce homelessness, improve long-term recovery, and curb the use of jails and emergency room visits."
