Liberation Programs, a Stamford-based drug-treatment agency, will recognize Darien First Selectman Jayme Stevenson “for her extraordinary commitment to the agency’s mission and programs” on June 7 at a benefit at Woodway Country Club. In an announcement from the organization, Stevenson was praised for her “thoughtful approach to ending the opioid epidemic.” Alan Mathis, Liberation Programs’ president and chief executive officer, said, “Jayme understands that what Liberation does saves lives.”

“I’m honored to be included among the recipients of Liberation’s Spirit of Hope award this year because it gives me the chance to emphasize how vitally important it is for us to provide the best addiction treatment possible to ensure people have the greatest chance for a sustainable life in recovery,” Stevenson said in the news release. Stevenson is now running for the GOP nomination for lieutenant governor.
