Safe Passage in Taylorville remains committed to being the light at the end of the tunnel for those struggling with addiction, in Taylorville and surrounding communities. Many individuals who have been helped by Safe Passage come from homelessness and are stuck in a cycle of decisions that keep them addicted. However, this is not the only population that is affected by addiction.

Current and former athletes, veterans, or any person who engaged in rigorous physical activity leading to the prescription of painkillers also struggle with addiction. This population of people struggling with addiction can find help with Safe Passage just as easily.

Debbie Prince a Coordinator for Safe Passage in Taylorville says the assistance will not change based on one's background.

While Safe Passage works to bring comfort and independence, the group does so in ways of gathering donations of not only clothing, but hygiene products to kick start that person's road to sober living.

Safe Passage can be reached by calling the Taylorville Police Department or by walking in their doors and asking for Safe Passage.
