The nonprofit, affiliated with UMass Memorial Health, closed the programs and laid off 80 employees after a surprise state inspection.
The closure of the detox program, and two others, led to 80 layoffs earlier this spring.
The team will send personnel alongside police to certain mental health-related emergency calls.
A delegation of Community Healthlink workers who were affected by the closures of three substance abuse programs gathered at the UMass Memorial Health administrative offices Tuesday morning in a rebuked attempt to deliver a letter to President & CEO Dr. Eric Dickson with their demands in the wake of the associated layoffs.
The letter demanded Dickson commit to opening an investigation into what led to suspension of the programs and making the findings public.
