We’re proud to have been part of this year’s VASAM Annual Conference, hosted by the Virginia Society of Addiction Medicine!

Team members Abdul Malike, Marie Charles, Adebola Abe-Fapohunda, and Tiffany Sullivan represented National Capital Treatment & Recovery, joining professionals and partners from across Virginia to share insights and strengthen collaboration in the field of addiction medicine.

It was great connecting with our long-time partners — Kelley Eason of Freedom Recovery Centers (middle-right photo) and Liz Miller of StarCity Behavioral Health (bottom-right photo).

Working together, we continue to move recovery forward—one conversation, one connection, one life at a time.

As the colors change and the air begins to chill, we’re taking a moment to look back on one of our favorite fall events!

National Capital Treatment & Recovery was proud to sponsor a hole and participate in the 5th Annual Fairways for Scott — hosted by our friends at 2 End The Stigma in Chesterfield County.
This meaningful event honors the life of Scott Zebrowski, who was lost to fentanyl poisoning, and continues his legacy by raising awareness, fostering community, and working to end the stigma surrounding substance use and recovery.

The day brought together an incredible group of partners and advocates, all united in spreading awareness and offering hope.

Other participants included:
• Freedom Recovery Centers
• StarCity Behavioral Health
• Rams In Recovery
• The Healing Place

We’re grateful to stand alongside so many dedicated partners who continue to make recovery visible — and possible.

In Memory of Pattie Schneeman

It is with deep sadness and heavy hearts that we share the passing of Pattie Schneeman, our Chief Growth Officer and a cherished member of the National Capital Treatment & Recovery family for nearly three decades.

Pattie began her remarkable journey with NCTR on October 7, 1996. For 29 years, she dedicated her life’s work to helping others find hope, healing, and success. She touched countless lives—staff, patients, and community partners alike—with her wisdom, kindness, and unwavering commitment to our mission. Her leadership and compassion shaped who we are as an organization and who we strive to be.

Pattie’s legacy will live on in every life she helped change and in every heart she inspired. She was more than a colleague—she was family, a mentor, and a true light to all who knew her.

A memorial and celebration of her life will be held at NCTR at a later date. Details will be shared once arrangements are finalized.

Please join us in keeping Pattie’s loved ones in your thoughts and in reflecting on the joy, strength, and purpose she brought to our community. She will be profoundly missed and forever remembered.
