AROUND TOWN: Come Walk With Me breakfast announces innovative Recovery Community Center
It was a time they could share a long-awaited announcement and cheer together heartily, sometimes tearfully, for the almost 650 supporters and volunteers at the Aug. 24 Come Walk With Me Breakfast.
Just 13 days earlier, funding had been secured and Springs Recovery Connection had closed on a building for a collaborative Recovery Community Center for substance use disorder, one of only 26 such accredited centers in the country.
SRC staff would start the move immediately into the former Boy Scouts building at 985 W. Fillmore St., near Interstate 25, CEO Trudy Hodges said. It will be operational this month and an estimated 20 community partners and programs begin services there in the fall and early winter.
