Positively impacting one individual’s life in an environment like ours can extend well beyond the walls of the community center.

Answers can be as easy as our open door. Even the most difficult questions about substance abuse and dependence are met with the greatest understanding and confidentiality.

Volunteer Your Time

Day to day operations at the community center are dependent on the generosity of people like you. Volunteers are very important to us. They contribute time and talent in a variety of ways. Our volunteers see first hand how a supportive community can achieve success and grow as they learn. The community center offers a volunteer training program to provide education and support so volunteers can nurture others and their own recovery.
