Earlier this month, it was announced that Vermont will receive a $3 million federal grant to expand treatment for opioid dependency in the state.
The money will support the expansion of services in Rutland, Addison, Chittenden and Franklin counties.
Dr. Jeffrey McKee is director of psychiatric services at the Rutland Regional Medical Center, which runs the West Ridge Center for Addiction Recovery in Rutland. He joined Vermont Edition to talk about how the Center will use the new money to expand treatment options.
