Allegany County Heroin and Opioid Ad-Hoc Committee

Welcome to the Allegany County Heroin and Opioid Ad-Hoc Committee webpage. The abuse of and addiction to opioids such as heroin, morphine, and prescription pain relievers is a serious problem that does not discriminate and negatively impacts rural, suburban and urban communities’ health, social, and economic well being.
 
Recognizing that addiction impacts not only those who are currently using, but also affects individuals in recovery, family members, friends, and our community at-large; the Allegany County Legislator, Ardent Solutions, Inc., health and human service organizations, schools, faith-based organizations, law enforcement, and community members are partnering to learn more about the problem and address it at a local level. Join us in these efforts today!

Our Mission: The Allegany County Heroin and Opioid Abuse Advisory Committee is an appointed ad-hoc legislative body that strives to influence, support and secure resources for communities, organizations, and individuals impacted by addiction. Our purpose is to ensure that appropriate prevention, treatment, and recovery assets are available to all Allegany County residents while advancing policy and enforcement efforts at the local, state and federal level.
