The Boston City Council on Oct. 1 adopted a resolution calling for prioritizing a recovery campus for people experiencing substance-use disorder, urging coordinated regional and state action and faster planning to restore or replace services lost when the Long Island bridge was closed in 2014.

Councilor Ed Flynn, sponsor of the resolution, said a structured residential environment — such as the former Long Island facility — provides detox, counseling and residential recovery supports that are difficult to replicate through fragmented, short-term services. “We do need another location where people dealing with substance use challenges have the resources, the treatment, residential programs that they need and deserve,” Flynn said.

Councilor Murphy, a co-sponsor, described Long Island’s closure in October 2014 and said the island previously hosted shelter beds, detox and recovery programming that “came to a crashing halt.” She urged the city and its state partners to prioritize a recovery campus even if it must be located outside city limits.

Councilors who spoke across the floor described the issue as regional and emphasized the need for state and federal funding. Councilor Braden noted an estimated cost to reopen and rebuild infrastructure on Long Island could reach into the hundreds of millions and urged the city to pursue state and federal funds and opioid settlement dollars. Councilor Weber urged local partners to press the city of Quincy to stop litigation that delays progress on the Long Island bridge repair.

The council voted to adopt docket 1750 by roll call; the clerk recorded a unanimous vote in favor. The resolution asks the mayor’s office and relevant state agencies to appear before the council to discuss planning, funding and interim measures, and it directs the council’s committees to continue overseeing progress and options, including decentralized or regional models.
