Though drug addiction continues to be a national issue , Judge White and Whitley County Fiscal Court hope that the new rehabilitation facility will help to eliminate the strife of some who still struggle with addiction .
Solidified plans have not yet been made for the facility , but the Whitley County Government is actively working on them .
