💊 Lexapro vs. Zoloft: What’s the Difference Between These Anxiety Medications?

Both medications treat anxiety and depression, but they work a little differently. Lexapro is often known for being gentler with fewer side effects, while Zoloft is widely used because it can help with a broader range of symptoms including panic and OCD. Some people respond better to one than the other, and the right choice depends on your body, your history, and your mental health needs.
Our latest blog breaks down how each medication works, who they may be best for, and what to discuss with your provider.

DeNovo Recovery had the honor of attending the Joint Veterans Committee event at the Fire Fighter’s Memorial, SJFD Fire Station #9, remembering those tragically lost on 9/11—24 years ago.

Buchanan County Sheriff Bill Puett, St. Joseph Police Chief Paul Luster, and St. Joseph Fire Chief Ivan Klippenstein each gave powerful and heartfelt words. Their speeches not only honored the fallen first responders of 9/11 but also reminded us how truly blessed we are as a community to have such dedicated leaders. Denovo Recovery is grateful for Sheriff Puett, Chief Luster, and Chief Klippenstein—the way they spoke was impactful, heartfelt, and a true reminder of the strength and unity within our city.

Pastor Jared Fiske of Central Assembly of God, Saint Joseph, MO opened and closed the ceremony in prayer. His prayer was moving, impactful, and we hope it sparks a deeper spiritual awakening in St. Joseph.

It was a time of remembrance, reflection, and gratitude. A time to honor the brave first responders and families forever impacted by 9/11, while also pausing to recognize the courage and commitment of the men and women who keep us safe today.

We are truly blessed and grateful for our St. Joseph Police Officers, Fire Fighters & EMS responders. Thank you for your service 🙏❤️🇺🇸
