A zoning hearing has been set for Tues., Oct. 27 at 7:00 p.m. at the Boardman Township Government Center to consider a conditional use permit that if approved would allow for a drug addiction treatment center located along Boardman-Canfield Rd., near to several residential streets, including Harrington Ave., Mill Creek Blvd., Ron Joy Place and Pinewood Dr.; and across the street from East and West Parkside Drive.
According to documents filed with the Boardman Zoning Department, the in-patient facility for addiction treatment would be located at 920 Boardman-Canfield Rd. and operated by New Day Recovery LLC that was formed in Aug., 2015.
The permit is being sought by Felix Savon, owner of Savon Enterprises LLC, of 830 Boardman-Canfield Rd.; and Tom Ivany and Kim DiPillo, of New Day Recovery.
In the documents submitted to the zoning office. Savon notes “We have an opioid crisis...that has dramatically changed the number of people needing immediate treatment. To meet that need, we want to open a 16-bed, sub-acute detox facility...We can save lives at a critical time in the recovery process.”
Savon says the buildings the drug treatment center would occupy have been vacant for over a year.
“When occupied, they will be supervised 24-hours-a-day and the clients will not be driving to and from the facility.”
Savon suggests the New Day will provide detoxification services to addicts “in a warm, comfortable and upscale environment until the client is stabilized.” Additionally, outpatient services and educational programs will be provided.
According to Savon, clients “will be provided with ‘medication’ to alleviate their discomfort and make them as comfortable as possible.”
Additionally, Savon said, “After the removal of toxic drugs from the body, clients engage in New Day Recovery’s outpatient services in order to confront the underlying issues that contribute to addiction.”
Savon and Tom Ivany are listed as owners of New Day Recovery, according to documents on file in the zoning office. |
