Clinton County grants $12,000 in opioid settlement funds to local recovery center for transportation
Summary
The Board of Supervisors approved $12,000 in opioid settlement funds to Rediscover Recovery Community Center to support a Recovery Transportation Support Program covering fuel, maintenance and vehicle expenses, citing demonstrated demand for rides to treatment and peer support.
Clinton County supervisors voted May 18 to award $12,000 in opioid settlement funds to Rediscover Recovery Community Center to support its Recovery Transportation Support Program.
Dominic Capello, the center’s executive director, told the board the program provides rides for people attending treatment, peer-support meetings, court obligations and medical appointments. He said the recovery van logged approximately 12,398 miles and transported 1,780 individuals over the previous year and that, according to the program application, it provided 962 rides and logged 7,233.9 miles during a recent six-month period. The board discussed allowable uses of opioid settlement funds with County Attorney Mike Wolf before voting.
The board adopted Resolution 2026-111, authorizing the county to award Twelve Thousand Dollars ($12,000.00) to Rediscover Recovery Community Center and directing the county auditor and appropriate officials to process payment and any necessary documentation. The resolution passed on a unanimous roll call (Irwin: Yes; George: Yes; Srp: Yes).
County officials said the funding will be used for fuel, maintenance, tires and related vehicle expenses to maintain transportation access for people engaged in recovery services. The board noted the award follows the county’s opioid remediation application process and the recommendation of the county’s Opioid Committee.
