Sheriff Patrick McDermott: Breaking Barriers in Substance Abuse Recovery

Sheriff, you run one of the premier correctional facilities in The United States Of America and that, to me, is a tribute to the staff and the commitment of the team that we have in place there in Norfolk County.
Sheriff Patrick McDermott knows firsthand the complexities of battling substance abuse. In this episode of 'Courage to Hope', host Tony Lagreca chats with McDermott, the sheriff of Norfolk County, about his innovative approach to fighting addiction and changing public perception. Sheriff McDermott opens up about the various programs at the county prison designed to help inmates reintegrate into society positively.
These initiatives aren't just about punishment; they aim to provide genuine support and hope for those looking to turn their lives around. They also dive deep into the opioid crisis, discussing the alarming rise of fentanyl and the necessity of international cooperation to tackle this issue head-on. The conversation doesn’t stop there; McDermott emphasizes the importance of post-incarceration treatment and employment opportunities for justice-involved individuals. His dedication to his staff and their collective mission is evident throughout the discussion.
McDermott's commitment to running one of the premier correctional facilities in the U.S. shines through, making this episode a must-listen for anyone interested in understanding how community outreach and structured support can make a real difference in the fight against substance abuse.
