In recent years Barnstable County has had higher rates of opioid related overdose and alcohol impaired driving deaths than the state. The path to recovery is different for everyone: having access to a variety of programs and supports is essential. On The Point, we discuss some of the local organizations and programs here to help: free services providing supports such as relapse prevention, social events, job readiness/job search activities, and advocacy and recovery coaching. With us:
Joanne Wisniewski, President of the board of Pause A While, a Community Center for Recovery
Samantha Franco, Co-director at Recovery Without Walls
Alicia Conlin, Program Director at WellStrong, a fitness and wellness community for people in recovery from substance use disorder
Here's a link to Pier Recovery Center of Cape Cod, welcoming all people in recovery from substance use and those affected by substance use.
