Safe Stations

At any time of day or night, or other times when the Health Department is closed, and a person struggling with substance misuse decides or gathers up the courage to ask for help, they can go to the ATLANTIC CLUB in West Ocean City OR call our peer warm line at 1(844)663-7337.  Peer support staff work for the Worcester County Health Department and are in long term recovery. 

If the individual needs medical care first, the worker will meet the individual at the medical provider facility to start the process once the individual is medically stable.  Our Safe Station is a partnership with many counterparts.  We are committed to supporting, educating and promoting treatment for individuals and families struggling with substance use disorders.

Our Safe Station is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.  If our agency is closed, please go to the Atlantic Club in West Ocean City  or call our peer warm line at (844) 663-7337.  During office hours, individuals are encouraged to use our standard facilities at WACs in West Ocean City, Berlin, and Snow Hill where we have staff who can help.  For individuals in the Pocomoke area, please call our Snow Hill office and we will make arrangements to meet you in our Pocomoke office. 

For further information, call the Worcester County Health Department during operating hours at (410) 632-1100.
