Safe Passage Taylorville Continues Its Expansion

The Safe Passage program continues to grow in Taylorville and the surrounding area. 

 

Taylorville Police Chief Dwayne Wheeler says the program received a small handful of sizable grants. 

Chief Wheeler thanks the support of the coordinators for their efforts. Denise Evans and Debbie Prince signed on as official co-coordinators earlier this year. 

If someone ever wants to attempt to recover their life from drugs or alcohol, they just have to walk into the Taylorville Police Department. The program will take in anyone without judgment and find a treatment center.

Sometimes, people back out at the last moment. Chief Wheeler wants you to know that’s okay. He asks addicts to come when they are ready. 

 

He also says there’s a huge need for mental health and drug rehabilitation centers in Central Illinois.

Chief Wheeler appeared as a guest on the WTIM Morning Show.
