Dear ODAAT Family & Friends,
During the holidays, individuals in recovery struggling with opioid and alcohol addiction have a 90% higher chance of relapsing -- this is almost double the rate during any other time of year. Thus, the work that ODAAT does during this time of year to assist those in recovery; making them feel loved, cared for and empowered is extremely critical to their full recovery.
Please, help us bring hope to individuals and their families during the holiday season!
Together, we can make recovery possible!
Peace & Blessings,
Mel Wells, President
