Buffalo Residents Oppose Rehab Center

{Buffalo, West Virginia}...Saturday morning, Buffalo residents packed Buffalo High School cafeteria to voice their concerns to a group which has plans to a drug rehabilitation center called Rock House on 18 Mile Creek Road. The Rock House would be a faith based treatment center for Putnam County residents battling addiction. The center would have in and out patient care and would have supervision for any trips off campus for those in the program, which would include community service projects. Buffalo residents weren't sold on the idea, saying the center would bring in addicts to the community who would commit crimes, and, with the children and elderly in the area, they just don't need it. Dr. Michael Robie, one of the founders of the proposed rehab center told the crowd that those problems already exist in Buffalo, and the center would work to combat it. Robie said they are looking at several locations around Putnam County but haven't yet made a decision where the center would be built.
