Plans for the facility at 382 Blackbrook Road in Painesville Township are in question.
Although The Ohio Board of Pharmacy recently awarded a provisional dispensary license to 127 OH LLC at that address, another business is pursuing that same location.
Signature Health wants to open a residential opioid treatment facility, said Painesville Township Administrator Michael Manary.
“This would be an inpatient treatment facility that would provide recovery and counseling services to people who voluntarily want to become drug-free,” he said. “The people who will use this treatment center will check themselves in voluntarily. They will not be people who are sentenced to this facility by a court.”
The proposed facility would open with 16 inpatient beds. They are requesting that they be able to expand to 24 beds within one to five years, he said.
Meanwhile, OH 127, LLC plans to open a fully compliant medical marijuana dispensary as soon as the law allows.
