- Offer recovery support options
- Will follow up with you
Yarmouth residents should contact Edith Samson, Recovery Support Navigator, Duffy Health Center (508) 771-9599, ext 138. Calls are accepted Monday through Friday 8:00 am to 4:30 pm.
Beginning in July 2018 and recognized by the Commissioner of the Massachusetts Department of Public Health Monica Bharel, this 2-year program was funded by a grant from the Yarmouth Board of Selectmen to the Yarmouth Board of Health and Yarmouth Substance Awareness Committee (Y-SAC).
