A detox service at a Farmington recovery facility that serves the Four Corners region as well as the Navajo Nation could come to an end.
The Four Winds Recovery Center may have to cease offering a protective custody detox service to make up for a 54 percent drop in county funding.
Center director Jolene Schneider said Thursday that it's only a matter of time before the center will have to stop providing the detox program.
San Juan County commissioners last month approved cuts to its health care assistance program.
The program partially pays for health care providers' uninsured medical claims.
The center holds 39 beds in its detox service unit.
