“We’re really the first, as far as I know, in the country, piloting this model in-depth,” Cullmer said. “No one’s really doing the full, broad picture of just vulnerable people including the homeless, mental health, suicidal, substance abuse.
I think that’s where New Milford is truly recovery-friendly because we don’t just focus on one piece of the puzzle, we’re focusing on the whole puzzle.”
