The Alabama Provider Capacity Project held both an in-person and virtual focus group last week in Etowah County to discuss the impact of substance abuse within the community.
Representatives from the David Mathews Center for Civic Life, the Behavioral Health Group and New Life for Women met during the focus group to discuss the barriers for treatment for substance abuse, what substances they are seeing in their centers and the various resources available to those who deal with addiction.
Because of privacy and confidentiality within the focus group, the names of those who participated were not disclosed, and specific details about conversations within the group also were regarded as confidential.
