County backs NDSU plan to install methadone dispenser at Dakota Drug in Stanley
Summary
The board voted to send a letter of support to NDSU for installing a methadone medication dispenser at Dakota Drug; Corrections Administrator Laurie Johnson told commissioners the service would benefit the community.
NDSU representatives and local pharmacists asked Mountrail County commissioners to support installing a methadone medication dispenser at Dakota Drug in Stanley.
Amy Werremeyer, an NDSU pharmacist, and Lisa Nagel, NDSU director of operations, joined Dakota Drug pharmacists Justine Sharp and Terry and Twana Dick in presenting the proposal to the board. Corrections Administrator Laurie Johnson told the board the service would be "very beneficial for the community." The board approved a letter of support to NDSU to pursue installation.
The minutes record the board's letter of support but do not set funding commitments or a timeline for approval or licensing; any regulatory approvals required for dispensing methadone were not detailed during the meeting.
