New drug treatment facility to open in Pike County

On Tuesday, the former Millard Middle School will once again open its doors.  But, this time, its purpose will be much different.  The building is now called Riverplace, and is the region’s newest men’s residential treatment center.  Greg May purchased the 12 acre property more than a year and a half ago, but says it was much more than just a business transaction.  May says his younger brother battled a drug addiction for years, and he had hopes that his brother would come to Riverplace to recover and perhaps work.  However, that vision ended two months ago when he died from a drug overdose.  But, the hope remains that Riverplace can be a source for answered prayers for other families in eastern Kentucky.  The grand opening for Riverplace, which will soon provide beds for 12o men, will be Tuesday beginning at 11:30am.  The public is invited to attend.
