Local addiction counseling group shifts to telehealth during relocation, plans to resume in-person services June 1
Summary
Hope Floats said a recent office relocation required about two months of telehealth service but expects in‑person counseling and group programming to resume by June 1, 2026. The organization reported inpatient referrals, IOP graduations and continued coordination with the detention center for reentry services.
Sarah Chapman of Hope Floats told the Commission the organization temporarily moved to telehealth while remodeling its new 2,400‑square‑foot office and expected in‑person services to resume by June 1, 2026. She reported that 11 clients were referred to inpatient rehab, six clients were transported to inpatient facilities, 14 clients participated in intensive outpatient programming with successful graduations and several clients accessed services after release from the detention center. Chapman said the new space is sized to host groups of roughly 20 people and would allow the provider to add counselors and expand programming beyond outpatient groups.
Chapman described ongoing coordination with the detention center for on-site contact when feasible and reported outreach activities including participation in Maze of Life for eighth graders and court‑advocacy attendance at five hearings at judges' requests. Commissioners thanked her for continuing services and asked staff to coordinate detention‑center access once the remodeled office reopens.
