Outraged residents continue to push back the opening of a proposed opioid treatment center in Lynnwood. FOX13
The clinic, located just off 24th Avenue, was set to open on Jan. 23, but has since been delayed to Monday, Jan. 30.
"We need an opioid treatment facility, we need drug rehabilitation centers but not right next to childcare," Frizzell said. She says in October, Acadia filed a 14-page application with only two pages filled out to the Department of Health. The mayor claims an Acadia representative directly lied to her about their outreach to Sgt. Carter with Lynnwood Police.'We're being rammed down our throats:' City, neighbors frustrated with new opioid treatment center in Lynnwood
"I think that if Acadia had done their homework, like they should've done, they would have found that’s not a great spot to site an opioid treatment facility. I think there are other places in Lynnwood, in South Snohomish County that are much better suited," Frizzel said. She says getting people the help they need is crucial, but her fear and concerns are the children in the area.Others like Laura Warnock and Anthony Verdusco have mixed emotions.She has a friend who is recovering from addiction and needs a clinic like this.Safe Lynnwood says their concern is also about access to transportation, and the lack of parking as treatment facilities tend to be busy.
