Representatives of NGP Management, LLC/Dunkin' Donuts present a check for $40,000 to Farnum Center staff.
A New England-based operator of 110 Dunkin' Donuts stores is giving $40,000 to the Farnum Center to help those seeking treatment for substance abuse. NGP Management is responding to the ongoing resource needs in the treatment community.
“Having Dunkin’ Donuts shops throughout multiple New Hampshire communities gives us a front-row seat to see the effects of addiction in the lives of those we serve and even our employees,” explains Patricia Lincoln, Vice President of Operations at NGP. “We want to be a part of the solution, and hope that our contribution provides a small step towards healing for those suffering.”
The donation will be used to provide financial assistance to individuals who cannot afford treatment.
“We offer our sincere thanks to NGP Management owners, the Scrivanos Family, for this exceedingly generous donation, it is one of two incredible contributions this business makes to our clients,” explains Dr. Cheryl Wilkie, Senior VP of Substance Abuse Services at Farnum Center. “NGP frequently hires many of Farnum’s past clients to work in their stores. They not only invest in treatment, but these generous souls work with former clients to get them back on their feet, which says a lot about these wonderful people.”
Farnum’s Manchester facility has expanded Suboxone treatment, with more providers and more client openings in the medicated-assisted treatment clinic. This clinic offers medically supervised outpatient services for opiate-addicted clients. Clinic participants are required to meet regularly with a medical doctor who specializes in addiction medicine and is specifically trained in the use of Suboxone. Participation in individual or group counseling is a required program component. In addition, Farnum has expanded hours to help clients and their families through outpatient groups and an additional evening Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP). IOP meets three times weekly for four weeks. After 12 sessions, clients transfer to an outpatient level of care for roughly 4-6 weeks. Both outpatient facilities (Manchester’s 700 Lake Ave. and Franklin’s Webster Place) have added more times for various outpatient services, assessments, DWI aftercare and other programs in high demand.
“Our goal is to meet a range of complicated individual needs and ultimately provide people the help they deserve,” explains Wilkie. “There are no quick fixes to the opioid epidemic. We must provide a range of services and make ourselves and our assets available to those who seek our help and this donation goes a long way to help us help others.”
