Unlock Your Full Potential. Say Hello to THE NEW YOU

We focus on first and second time drug offenders, regardless of prior history into treatment/education to further prevent recidivism, continued drug use and possible overdose.  This program, the first of its kind in our community is designed to allow the individual to engage in treatment as opposed to facing criminal prosecution. Individuals eligible for the program will have their case placed on the Stet Docket with the condition that they obey all laws, have a drug evaluation and complete treatment as recommended.  If satisfactorily completed, the charges will be dismissed.

Education Instead of Incarceration

Helping those struggling with addiction

In 2020, the Allegany County Narcotics Task Force seized over 1,300 grams of Fentanyl.  Approximately 1,200 grams had already been seized by the end of March 2021.  Allegany County experienced a 108.7% increase in opioid deaths in 2020, compared to 2019 per the Opioid Operational Command Center 2020 Annual report.  The 2020 annual report also notes that “the largest regional percent increase in opioid-related fatal overdoses 2020 was observed in Western Maryland.”

Our diversion program will increase the number of first and second time offenders who are engaging in treatment and decrease the number of first and second time offenders who are prosecuted. We are able to help eligible individuals contact treatment providers and programs that will better assist them and their family members struggling with addiction.
