Center for Substance Abuse Research (CESAR) at the University of Maryland launches Maryland Community Services Locator Website.
With funding from the Governor's Office of Crime Control & Prevention (GOCCP), CESAR has created a new community services locator website. The Maryland Community Services Locator (MDCSL) website was created to help Maryland service providers and the general public more easily access local programs and resources. This website helps users quickly find detailed resource listings for a variety of services, including maps and directions to program sites, using a single website. The current website includes listings of Alcoholics and Narcotics Anonymous meeting lists, Buprenorphine certified physicians, family assistance programs, health services, HIV/AIDS resources, job readiness resources, mental health services, parole and probation offices, public schools, short-term housing services (such as drop-in centers and shelters), substance abuse treatment and prevention programs, and victim services, searchable by proximity to a given address. In the future, the MDCSL's program service listings will be expanded to include other community services, including emergency food assistance, legal assistance, senior citizen resources, and more! We invite you to visit the MDCSL beta website at: www.mdcsl.org For more information, see a full press release click here or contact the University of Maryland at mdcsl@cesar.umd.edu |
