SerVermont - Central Vermont Medical Center

The Washington County Substance Abuse Regional Partnership, with whom the VISTA would be directly working, was established in 2015 with the sponsorship of Central Vermont Medical Center with the goal of helping to build strong, healthy communities free from the harms of opioid and other substance misuse. Each of the coalition’s member organizations and the voices of those with lived experience have demonstrated strength to bring about change in our region. WCSARP brings together a broad group of partners who work in the field of substance use disorders including the areas of prevention, treatment, recovery, harm reduction, disease prevention, and workforce development. It also includes local law enforcement, EMS, and organizations that focus on mental health, housing, the justice system, and community re-entry. WCSARP’s mission is to create a harmonized network of communities in and around Washington County where there is no wrong door, no wrong time to get help and support, and to prevent the initiation of substance use.
