Certified a County service center as a recovery hub

The FY2025 report certifies a new program named Passaic County Recovery Program. It names the County Department of Human Services, Division of Mental Health and Addiction Services, as recipient. It is funded 11/27/2024 at 793,000.00, with 0.00 expended and 793,000.00 encumbered, and a launch date of 03/16/2026 (FY2025 report p4). It describes a recovery hub in West Milford offering outpatient treatment, peer recovery coaching, linkage to medication assisted treatment and counseling. It calls the money a one time allocation for site construction (p4). It gives the primary category as Primary Prevention, Education, and Training (p5). It gives the procurement method as a grant based allocation from the Opioid Recovery and Remediation Fund, overseen by the County Advisory Council (p6). The 793,000.00 is line 5 of 6 on the Certification of Available Funds attached to Resolution R-24-1051, adopted 11/18/2024 (resolution p7). That resolution awarded Delric Construction Co., Inc. a 5,342,000.00 contract for renovation of the Passaic County Johner Building at 11 Edgar Drive, West Milford, after sealed bids under bid C-24-024. Purchase order 24-07411 is dated 11/27/2024, the funding date the report gives, and was issued by the County Engineering Department. The construction plan, sheet A-101, labels session rooms, a nurse session room, a family session room, two group rooms, exam rooms and secure medication storage. They sit beside a nurse's suite, a doctor's office, a well child care clinic, training rooms and offices for the health officer and environmental inspectors (bid package p755). Addendum 2 attaches images of the police storage area, an area that could not be reached during the second walk-through (addendum 2 p334). The settlement account paid Application 00008, 430,821.28 by check 202853 on 10/14/2025, and its 362,178.72 share of Application 00009 by check 203751 on 11/17/2025 (Delric vendor report p1). The West Milford Messenger reported on 04/24/2026 that the building opened on 04/22/2026 as the Highlands Regional Service Center. It described a County facility with a public health office and clinic, a behavioral health services clinic offering mental health and substance use support, and a senior nutrition site. That is newspaper reporting, not a County record. The plans and the reporting describe a multi-purpose County service building. No record produced names a recovery program for the building or allocates the settlement share, or any room, to an abatement program.
