HAVERSTRAW – The Town of Haverstraw Police Department has joined the Hope Not Handcuffs program.
The program is seen as a first step in recovery from drug and alcohol addiction.
Anyone seeking help in the fight of drug or alcohol addiction may come to Haverstraw Police Department and ask for the Hope Not Handcuffs program.
They will be treated with compassion and respect. A call will be made to an “Angel” volunteer from the Hope Not Handcuffs team who will come and actively seek out a treatment plan. Individuals suffering from addiction will instantly gain an advocate and a network of resources designed to lead them to success. Hope Not Handcuffs, is a proactive approach to reach out to people struggling with drug addiction to encourage them to seek recovery and regain control of their lives.
Hope Not Handcuffs-Hudson Valley, a program of the Tri-County Community Partnership Inc., is aimed at bringing law enforcement, community organizations and volunteers together to find viable treatment options for individuals seeking help to reduce dependency with any substance including heroin, prescription drugs, and alcohol.
HNH-HV started in Orange County in January of 2019, since then the program has rapidly grown to include 27 police departments across five counties, incorporating approximately 1100 police officers. The program has a volunteer force of over 500 Angels.
Since its inception, HNH which was founded in Michigan by Families Against Narcotics, has expanded to include over 90 police departments in 9 counties in the state and has successfully connected more than 4700 participants with the resources and treatment they need and deserve.
