Mundelein would like to remind everyone about a program that can be a lifesaver for those battling addiction . “A Way Out” is a one - of - a kind program that helps people who are addicted to drugs gain quick access to substance abuse programs and services 24 hours a day , 365 days per year at participating police departments across Lake County .   Those seeking help will NOT be criminally charged if they possess narcotics or paraphernalia . The Mundelein PD is a proud participant in this program .  
   To access help , simply go to the MPD ( or any participating police department in Lake County ) and tell the staff that you want to participate in “A Way Out . ” Law enforcement officers will take it from there and provide help accessing care and services . The program focuses on the core issue - ADDICTION . There is no need to fear arrest or prosecution for seeking help with this program . For far too long , addiction has been stigmatized and dealt with as a criminal issue .
   Addiction is a public health problem that needs to be addressed as such . The “A Way Out” program’s core mission is to HELP…NOT CRIMINALIZE a public health problem .   It is a groundbreaking program that we are proud with which to be affiliated .
