Clinton Twp., MI - Macomb County Community Mental Health (MCCMH) has opened its first mobile health unit and is now getting out on the road to provide services and to share important information.
For instance, August is Overdose Awareness Month. MCCMH’s Office of Substance Abuse will therefore use the mobile health unit to provide naloxone that can help residents take action in preventing overdose deaths.
Naloxone is a medication designed to rapidly reverse opioid overdose. Every Friday in August, naloxone will be available at no cost for Macomb County residents at various sites around the county. The events will be from 10 a.m. -2 p.m., including:
- August 6 at CARE Recovery United Center, 32577 Garfield Road, Fraser, MI 48026
- August 13 at Live Rite Recovery Center, 27700 Gratiot Ave., Roseville, MI 48066

- August 27 at Macomb County Health Department, Southwest Health Center, 27690 Van Dyke, Warren, MI 48093
There will also be an official ribbon cutting ceremony for the mobile health unit, prior to the first event on August 6 at 9:30 a.m.
