RIGHT NOW. A PROJECT TO ADD YOUTH MENTAL HEALTH RESOURCES IN IOWA IS NOW OPENING ITS DOORS. AMBER RECOVERY CAMPUS HOSTED A RIBBON CUTTING YESTERDAY. ����vlog’S PEPPER PEREIRA WAS THERE AND GOT A BRAND NEW LOOK AT THE BRAND NEW FACILITY. GATHERED ROUND ON THIS HILLTOP THAT I WAS GIVEN. EXACTLY. STORIES ARE BEING SHARED. I’M LAYING IN A IN A DETOX BED AND I’M WAKING UP AND DRAWING THE FIRST SOBER BREATH THAT I’VE DRAWN IN YEARS. I THOUGHT THAT I HAD MY ADDICTION UNDER CONTROL. I WAS WRONG. TO REMIND THOSE LISTENING OF THE MISSION, THIS FACILITY SET FORTH TO ACCOMPLISH FROM A GOVERNOR THAT WILL CELEBRATE 25 YEARS IN RECOVERY THIS YEAR. I CAN’T TELL YOU HOW IMPORTANT FACILITIES LIKE THIS ARE. THIS IS AMBER RECOVERY CAMPUS. IT’S A NEW RECOVERY FACILITY NEAR CAMBRIDGE, WHERE THE YOUTH SERVICES SOCIETY WILL HOST ITS SUBSTANCE ABUSE AND MENTAL HEALTH TREATMENT PROGRAMS FOR CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS. WE FINALLY HAVE A FACILITY AND A SPACE THAT IS WORLD CLASS, NATURE BASED, TRAUMA INFORMED, EXPERIENTIAL. THAT’S GOING TO SAVE LIVES AND TRANSFORM FAMILIES FOR GENERATIONS. THE 53 ACRE PROPERTY COST AROUND $30 MILLION AND IS ABLE TO HOST UP TO 70 PATIENTS AGES 12 TO 17 AND 18 TO 24, AN ACCOMPLISHMENT THE GOVERNOR SAYS IS HISTORIC. THE AMBER RECOVERY CAMPUS REPRESENTS THE LARGEST SINGLE INVESTMENT IN CHILDREN’S BEHAVIORAL HEALTH IN THE HISTORY OF OUR STATE. SO TODAY, EVERYONE IS HERE TO CELEBRATE THE STEP TOWARDS IOWANS SOBRIETY.
