Erica Cecala, the Executive Assistant at Second Chances Opportunities, said it is important to recognize the accomplishments of those in treatment and who are currently recovering from addiction and encourage individuals to lead a life that is drug-free and alcohol-free.
“It’s pretty unbelievable,” Cecala said. “It’s all of our local treatment facilities coming together with people who are currently in treatment recovering from substance abuse disorder. People who have been in recovery five, 10, 20, 30 years. Just kind of showing the community that recovery works and recovery is possible.”
