On Tuesday, Senator Fred Akshar joined Tioga County Sheriff Gary Howard and Tioga County Legislature Chairwoman Marte Sauerbrey to announce $156,000 in state funding that will be used to bring jail-based substance use disorder treatment and transition services to the Tioga County Correctional Facility.<\/p>\n

As co-Chair of the Senate Joint Task Force on Heroin and Opioid Addiction, Senator Akshar advocated for, and secured, $156,000 in the 2018-19 State Budget to help implement, support, and expand these vital services in Tioga County.<\/p>\n

Tioga County is one of 17 counties, according to Senator Akshar, to receive this funding. In total, $3.75 million will be distributed throughout these counties.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been traveling the state and listening to people that are fighting the heroin and opioid epidemic on the front line,\u201d said Senator Akshar during a press conference held Tuesday to announce the funding.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe can\u2019t arrest our way out of this,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
