The Sheriff's Heroin Addiction Recovery Program, founded by Sheriff Paula S. Dance is committed to offering comprehensive services, a seamless community reentry, and referrals for aftercare for those struggling with addiction. Services will begin at the moment of incarceration but should not have to stop the day they walk out the door of the Detention Center. Sheriff Dance is leading a progressive and effective office that utilizes partnership, problem-solving, and proactive public service efforts to achieve results for Pitt County citizens in need.
