Seattle establishes a recovery center for overdose survivors with prolonged medical needs in a hotel, supported by the fire department's overdose response team.
Mayor Harrell emphasizes the urgency to help addiction sufferers by providing post-overdose care, medication treatments, and health service connections.
The facility aims to stabilize individuals after a non-fatal overdose, offering withdrawal symptom relief, evidence-based treatment, and recovery services.
DESC Director Malone predicts the center will prevent future overdoses and reduce emergency room visits in the region.
