San Juan County commissioners will break ground Monday for a new treatment center designed to help people addicted to methamphetamine.

The project is part of an expansion and renovation of the current DWI facility. It will add 6,000 square feet to the building to accommodate the Meth Substance Abuse Treatment Facility.
