For the third consecutive year, the Beaver County Drug Abuse Coalition held a Recovery Celebration for those struggling with substance abuse and continuing their lifelong path to cleanliness. It was held for the first time at John Antoline Park in Monaca after previously being held at the Brady’s Run Walking Trail.

The Recovery celebration is held annually in honor of National Recovery Month, which honors those struggling with drug addiction, substance abuse, and the various interpersonal and socio-economical repercussions that come with it. Many different local outreach programs had information stations set up to help those who are–or knows someone who is–struggling with abuse.

The event featured guest speakers Cicero Lassiter and “Jeff”, who spoke about their dedication to recovery and the power that addiction can have on struggling lives. Yoga was provided by Sangha Wellness in Beaver, and the luncheon was provided by One-5 BBQ & Catering. District Attorney David Lozier and Beaver County Commissioner Jack Manning were also in attendance.
