County's Drug Task Force Looking At New Strategic Plan

After five years of growth, the Oxford County Drug Task Force says they are now concentrating their efforts to rework their strategic plan. Clinical Administrator Shelly Redman says their biggest accomplishment so far was the creation of the Oxford Addiction Strategy in November. Redman says they used to have just one Addiction Services councillor who the county, so they came up with a way to improve services without spending any more money. "We just amalgimated services amongst Addiction Services of Thames Valley , Woodstock and Area Community Health Centre, Ingersoll NP Led Clinic with support of CMAH Oxford and we've been able to increase the services and have roving walking intakes throughout the community every month". Redman says there are now two walking roving intakes a month in Ingersoll. She says there used to be a four month wait once you had your intake before you could get your counselling, where as now you walk out of the intake with a meeting for the next week.
