Several Connected To Treatment Through 'A Way Out': Sheriff
The number of people Kane County Sheriff Ron Hain said the program has connected to treatment in less than two months.
ST. CHARLES, IL — 10 people in less than two months. As of Friday, that's how many people the Kane County Sheriff's Office has connected to treatment through the "A Way Out program," Sheriff Ron Hain recently announced. The program began less than two months ago, and provides non-punitive support and treatment center connection to people suffering from drug addiction, while also encouraging those individuals to walk-in, call, or use the Sheriff's Office Tips411 portal on the sheriff's office website to initiate support.
The sheriff's office added that during the program, a member of the sheriff's office will triage the Kane County resident's addiction issue and contact local treatment centers for availability, and then transport that person to the center.
