Bill Willis Community Mental Health and Substance Abuse Center in Tahlequah is now providing residential substance abuse treatment for women, Norma Burris, director of alcohol and drug programs, said.

Since its inception, the center has primarily provided residential treatment for men. However, based upon community requests, the program is extending services to women. Priority is given to individuals residing in Sequoyah, Adair, Cherokee, and Wagoner Counties.

A limited number of treatment slots are available to low-income individuals at no charge. Additional treatment funds are available through the Community Sentencing Program and Cherokee Nation Behavioral Health, Burris said.

For more information or referrals, call 918-207-3035.

After an experiment that lasted several months, the editors at Your TIMES decided this week to end the practice of allowing anonymous comments on our website because most of the comments involve personal attacks and unfounded accusations. These comments do not add information to a story, or add any true insight. While we believe in the free exchange of ideas, it had become evident that was not what was happening in the comment section of our website. Readers can also become fans of Your TIMES on Facebook and may comment on our postings there. Readers are also encouraged to write letters to the editor to the newspaper about matters of public interest. The newspaper circulation is several times that of the web site, so readership is much higher. Letters must include a name and phone number so that we may contact the writer to verify authenticity of the letter. Letters are limited to 500 words and one letter per writer per month is accepted.
