A T T E N T I O N ‼️

The B.E.A.R. Program is moving to 301 West Broadway in Anadarko, Oklahoma. We have been packing and moving items all week and the staff are exhausted, but despite that, we have continued to set up booths. Last night, we were at the Bigfoot Storytelling Event and today at the kids, kites, and frights event in anadarko! Thank you, Mr. Tapedo for setting up, meeting new contacts, finding potential clients, and providing safe storage bags, and safe disposal pouches to community members. It’s things like this that make our program effective and make the community aware we are here to help!

If you or someone you know need help with treatment or detox for Opioids or Stimulants, the BEAR program is here to help. Give us a call 4056482714 or 4056482721.

Thank you!

“Fentanyl is the single deadliest drug threat our nation has ever encountered,” said Administrator Anne Milgram. “Fentanyl is everywhere. From large metropolitan areas to rural America, no community is safe from this poison. We must take every opportunity to spread the word to prevent the fentanyl-related overdoses claiming scores of American lives every day.”
