Don’t forget, the 4th Annual Discover Recovery: Navigating Recovery Later in Life will be held on March 11, 2026, at Butler County Community College. This community-focused event will provide education, resources, and support on addiction recovery.

This year’s focus highlights addiction and recovery among the senior population, including the complex challenges that can arise for older adults and those who care for them. Topics will examine medication misuse, interactions between prescriptions and alcohol or other substances, and the difficulties families and caregivers may face when navigating care and support.

Discover Recovery is a free, public event focused on education, conversation, and connection around addiction and recovery.

Join the Gaiser Center and community partners for a day dedicated to raising awareness about recovery and expanding access to support.

Our Executive Director, Joe Mahoney and Medical Director, Dr. C. Thomas Brophy were recently guests on the GreeneScene Magazine Podcast to talk about the Gaiser Center’s plans to open a new treatment facility in Carmichaels in 2026.

They discuss why this expansion matters for Greene County, what effective treatment actually looks like, and how communities benefit when care is focused on recovery rather than punishment. The conversation also touches on stigma, alcohol use, and the realities people and families are facing right now.
