As part of a multi-edition effort (here, here and here) to highlight compelling, fair, and informative local television news reporting, here is a must-watch segment on a behavioral health stabilization unit in Louisville, Kentucky:
- “New addiction stabilization unit bridges gap between emergency rooms and drug treatment.” For Louisville, Kentucky’s CBS affiliate, WLKY, Deni Camper reported on the city’s new addiction stabilization center, which is open 24/7 and staffed with healthcare workers and trained crisis counselors. The Center serves “people who are dealing with a combination of substance abuse issues and mental health problems”, giving them a place “to stabilize and develop a plan for treatment.”
