Nearly a hundred residents who gathered in Cambridge for an anti-consumption treatment services (CTS) sites rally Saturday morning were met by those in support of the sites. The rally took place at Oxford Street, with protestors hoping council will hear their concerns and reconsider potential construction of a CTS site. “Today I am clean, I am clean through rehab and rehab support services,” said protestor Clifford Van Clief. “You need to make people feel like people again, and a CTS doesn’t do that, it keeps them intoxicated.” Other protestors say they don’t want any site at all in the city and believe the service brings unwanted activity.
