About Berrien County Health Department Niles Office
The Berrien County Health Department’s Niles Office in Niles, Michigan, is a community office that offers health resources. They’re near the St. Joseph River. If you are struggling with your mental health, substance use conditions, or need general medical support, you can get connected to various services here. These resources might include medical care and counseling services.
The county’s Department of Health has paid close attention to the drug trends residents in the area are facing. Like many other states throughout the nation, Michigan has seen a rise in the need for robust addiction recovery support.
To meet this need, the department has resources, including Narcan training and harm reduction kits that can help you be informed of what to do in the event your loved one overdoses. You may end up saving a life.
There are even resources to treat the emergence of exceptionally harmful drugs, including xylazine and fentanyl. Having reported on the devastating effects of these emerging drugs, I appreciate Berrien County's efforts in addressing these new trends in the community. They also have programs that target underage vaping and radon.
I also appreciate their intentional focus on helping youth receive supportive care that will help steer them away from drug use. As an educator, I find their partnership with Berrien County Intermediate School District fifth grade teachers to be incredibly positive.
This partnership allows educators to target and support children who could fall victim to substance use.
At the Department of Health, you will find other services here that will support you with your medical and mental health needs. From primary care to access to community resources, you'll find these services and more when you reach out to the Niles clinic.
