This document was created by a few caring and concerned individuals for the purpose of providing our community with useful information about our opioid crisis, opioid use disorder (OUD) treatment and facts regarding the Jamestown Healing Campus.
After many hours of research and discussions, our conclusion is that the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe, through their Healing Campus, will be providing valuable and needed services to those suffering from opioid use disorder. Furthermore, we support the Jamestown Healing Campus and have confidence that the Jamestown tribe will manage the operation in a professional and competent manner, as they have done at the Jamestown Clinic — where they’ve successfully treated over 100 patients with OUD in the past few years.
Additionally, we have identified several key challenges that we think are important to address in the coming months and years. Understanding and overcoming these challenges are essential to building a healthier community.
It’s time to move forward in a positive fashion. Together, we can help those who are in need and suffering, and by doing so, we help ourselves and our future generations.
Lastly, we sincerely thank the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe and applaud their leadership in this battle against our national and local opioid crisis and for their on-going contributions to the health and well-being of the people in our community.
