Community and Law Enforcement for Addiction Recovery (CLEAR)

CLEAR is a collaborative initiative with the Granby Social Services, Granby Police Department, and the McCall Behavioral Health Network. Through CLEAR, individuals impacted by substance use are connected with compassionate support, resources, and connections to care. Through this partnership, CLEAR offers a proactive and non-punitive approach to addressing substance use and overdose.

When someone experiences an overdose or has a substance use-related interaction with police, CLEAR steps in to offer help. Highly trained Community Engagement Specialists and Family Recovery Coaches connect with individuals and their families to provide support and guidance tailored to their needs. Participation is voluntary and focused on trust, dignity, and respect.

Services offered through CLEAR include:

• Follow-up outreach after an overdose or police encounter
• Connection to supports and treatment services
• Peer support from individuals with lived experience
• Access to overdose prevention resources, including naloxone and safety materials
• Family support, coaching, and education
• Assistance navigating housing, employment, and basic needs

CLEAR helps individuals take the next step, whether that’s connecting to services, staying safer, or receiving support from someone who cares. By working together across systems, communities can reduce overdose risk, improve well-being, and ensure people are met with compassion and support, not punishment.
