Straight and Narrow Presents at Paterson Alliance

On March 14th, Straight and Narrow's Clinical Director, Ruth Jean Marie and the Senior Director of Residential Life, David Thomas made a presentation to the Paterson Alliance on the Opioid Epidemic in Paterson and what Straight and Narrow is doing to help combat it. 

The Paterson Alliance promotes the growth of Paterson nonprofit organizations and serves as a trusted and impartial source of information and resources for the nonprofit community. 

The Opioid epidemic has hit every community in New Jersey.  In 2018, New Jersey’s drug death toll set a record for the fourth state year, and now stands nearly four times what it was a decade ago.  Straight and Narrow works each day to save lives.
