The Berks County Council on Chemical Abuse will receive nearly $283,000 in state funding to provide recovery housing and support services to young adults.<\/p>\n
The funding through the Pennsylvania Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs aims to expand access to recovery housing and recovery support services for hundreds of individuals between the ages of 18 and 24.<\/p>\n
\u201cRecovery housing is a vital recovery support service that promotes the four major dimensions of a life in recovery: health, home, purpose and community,\u201d said DDAP Secretary Dr. Latika Davis-Jones. \u201cWe know that young adults face unique barriers to sustained recovery, including fewer connections to recovery supports and unstable housing.\u201d<\/p>\n
Davis-Jones said these grants amplify the Shapiro administration\u2019s commitment to breaking down those barriers by providing individuals with the support needed to sustain long-term recovery.<\/p>\n
Recovery houses are safe, family-like living environments that are substance-free and structured to support individuals who are in recovery from the disease of addiction. They center on peer support and connection to services that promote long-term recovery.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Berks County Council on Chemical Abuse will receive nearly $283,000 in state funding to provide recovery housing…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":45645,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[349,182,139,28,128,130,129,706],"class_list":["post-99880","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-reading","tag-berks-county","tag-local-news","tag-news","tag-pennsylvania","tag-reading-city","tag-reading-city-headlines","tag-reading-city-news","tag-top-stories-reg"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/99880","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=99880"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/99880\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/45645"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=99880"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=99880"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=99880"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
