Help Us Save Lives

SSTAR intends to construct a 43,000 square foot facility that will increase capacity of its services for patients with mental health & substance use disorders. The facility will house a triage and assessment center; a federally qualified health center that will house primary care facilities; individual, family and group counseling rooms, and a medication assisted treatment center for those with opiate and alcohol addiction.  In addition, this facility, along with additional funding from SAMSHA, will allow SSTAR to develop a state-of-the-art center for diagnosing the co-occurring disorders of mental health and substance abuse and provide a comprehensive integrated treatment program.  Follow link for more information about The Saving Lives Campaign.

The campaign is being run by a steering committee consisting of area business and civic leaders along with SSTAR management staff. Congressman Joseph Kennedy III is the Honorary Chair & SSTAR Board member Michael Silverman is the Capital Campaign Committee Chair.

Congressman Joseph Kennedy III

“Heartbreaking stories of loved ones lost to substance abuse and addiction have become far too common for families in every corner of our country. Whether by strengthening prescription monitoring, increasing access to Naloxone, or supporting additional treatment methods and centers, we must use every tool at our disposal to combat this epidemic.

SSTAR has proven to be a global leader in addiction treatment and health care. With a new state-of-the-art treatment center, SSTAR can expand research and continue to integrate primary and behavioral health care to build on our efforts to support the families and communities devastated by our country’s addiction crisis.”
