Opioid Task Force holds third annual Sober Housing Summit Modified: 12/11/2020 4:39:50 PM As the Opioid Task Force of Franklin County and North Quabbin’s third annual Sober Housing Summit came to an end Friday at noon, Sheriff Christopher Donelan suggested to Shawn Hayden that they take a ride up the Mohawk Trail sometime soon to look at old or abandoned motels that might be the answer to the lack of sober housing in Franklin County. Hayden, chief operating officer of GAAMHA Inc., better known as Pathway House, a self-help group home in Gardner, said the task force made a lot of progress this year, but housing is still a huge barrier to people in recovery. He said sober housing is a regional problem that makes a lasting impact, and there needs to be more collaboration and a unified vision on how to solve it.
