Comments on: Cecil County Drug Deaths Rise Again, New Stats Show; County Advances Private Rehab Hospital Aimed at Non-Local Patients https://ceciltimes.com/2014/12/cecil-county-drug-deaths-rise-again-new-stats-show-county-advances-private-rehab-hospital-aimed-at-non-local-patients/ News and Views for Cecil County and the Eastern Shore of Maryland Fri, 25 Nov 2022 14:21:21 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.2.38 By: Mike R https://ceciltimes.com/2014/12/cecil-county-drug-deaths-rise-again-new-stats-show-county-advances-private-rehab-hospital-aimed-at-non-local-patients/#comment-31428 Thu, 11 Dec 2014 15:44:13 +0000 https://ceciltimes.com/?p=4192#comment-31428 This is not a knee jerk reaction to a very serious lack of service provided to the southern part of our county. There are many other locations within Cecil County, north of the canal that can house this type of drug and alcohol facility. An area that has adequate resources along the developmental corridor would certainly be more palatable than to stress an already under funded area below the canal. It’s always easy to dump on a less vocal and less populated section of the county. I think we have had enough “dumping”.

But this out of state real estate man has never run a hospital before and instead of focusing on setting up one place and making it the best it can be, he is running around the east coast to buy real estate for a chain of rehabs. Why should we trust that he will make good on his promises of a few scholarships for local people? Nothing in writing to bind him to it.

Have any of you driven down Country Club Road in Havre de Grace, where Fr. Martin Ashley’s clinic exists? In the many years I lived in Havre de Grace, I never heard ONE complaint related to the clinic.

You cry about receiving less from the County Government, but do little to improve your situation. Turning down the clinic is tantamount to refusing employment in your area. Consequently, you limit the amount of money available to the County, and shoot yourself in the foot.

Please do some research on how these establishments operate, rather than producing a knee-jerk reaction.
