		<description><![CDATA[Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan proposed an anti-drug initiative Tuesday 1/24/2017 that would boost spending by $4 million on treatment and monitoring programs, along with tougher laws aimed at drug traffickers and over-prescribing of opioids by physicians. At the same time, a new out-patient detox and treatment center held a ribbon-cutting ceremony in conjunction with Union Hospital in Elkton. But looming over the state and local anti-drug abuse efforts are the uncertainties over the fate of the Affordable Care Act (“Obamacare”) and its mandates to provide health insurance coverage for drug addiction treatment services, as the new President Donald Trump moves forward with his plan to repeal “Obamacare” and replace it with an as yet unknown alternative. Some new drug treatment programs, such as the profit-making Recovery Centers of America facility in Earleville in southern Cecil County, included as a key part of their business plan the availability of drug treatment coverage under mandates of the Affordable Care Act for insurance companies. Without such assurances, the fiscal viability of some local treatment programs could be uncertain.

		<description><![CDATA[Cecil County health officials told the County Council on Tuesday they don’t know how many drug overdose deaths there were in the county last year and don’t know how many heroin addicts there are locally—but state statistics show the county is second only to Baltimore City in drug deaths. In contrast, county Sheriff Scott Adams had detailed data on how his new programs are working to combat drug addiction among jail inmates. Another issue raised during the County Council’s worksession was whether to create a “needle exchange” program in the county, with health officials supporting the idea while the Sheriff voiced concerns about “enabling” drug addicts to get free drug needles while state laws prohibit drug “paraphernalia.” Under extended questioning by County Councilor Alan McCarthy (R-1), the county’s health officer, Stephanie Garrity, said she didn’t know how many heroin addicts there are in Cecil County and did not know how many drug overdose deaths there were in the county last year. “I don’t have that,” Garrity said about heroin addiction numbers. And county health department officials also could not answer McCarthy’s questions about the numbers of fatal drug overdoses in the county in the past year and how they compared [&#8230;]]]></description>
