Our clients wanted us to express their gratitude to Elite Smiles Dental for their generous donation of oral hygiene supplies to the brave individuals who are beginning their journey to recovery from substance use disorder!

Oftentimes, people living with substance use disorder are hesitant to make changes or seek treatment because they are afraid that they’ll lose all of their support after changing their people, places, and things. But the truth is that tremendous support exists all around us, even in places you might not imagine!

Elite Smiles and their team are one such support! Thank you for the donation and for helping our clients to know that they are loved and supported in their recovery journey!

If you or someone know is ready to start that journey, let us help! During our 28-day program, we will start to introduce you to a community of reliable support that will cheer you on every step of the way! Give us a call at 800.604.2117 :)

The Wabash Valley Recovery Center is our region’s central resource hub for individuals with substance use disorder. We connect many of our graduates with their free peer recovery program, which has undoubtedly protected against relapse and saved countless lives.

They offer so many other resources for anyone who’s in need, and we are so happy to have them in our community! Check out their page or their website to learn more.

In the meantime, if you or someone you know is in need of treatment for substance use disorder, call us at 800.604.2117 and start your journey today!

Congratulations to Bear!!!

Meet our next model in the 6th Annual Recovery is Beautiful Gala, Bear Buchanan. 💜

A woman in long-term recovery, Bear gives credit for her progress towards serenity to the 12-steps, the dedication and devotion of those who are early in their recovery journeys, and most of all to her son, who has shown her what it means to love and be loved. 🥹

While many see her as a pillar of support and a saving grace during their darkest hours, Bear recognizes a truth less apparent. For Bear, the ones she works to serve are her heroes. Without them, and without the wisdom of the 12-steps, she'd have no light to guide the next wandering soul. 💫

Bear's runway outfit is being generously provided by Wabash Valley Goodwill Industries, Inc. & Excel Center of West Central Indiana. Goodwill is a staple in our community, providing employment opportunities and clothing vouchers to individuals in need.
And if you're unfamiliar with the Excel Center, please go check them out!!! They are a tuition-free adult charter high school that awards certifications and high school diplomas, not GEDs, to adult learners in West Central Indiana. They even have a daycare if you're a student. You can check out their website at https://www.excelcenterwci.org/ 🤩

We are so proud of Ashley, our Housekeeping Manager!

We want to introduce our first model in the 6th Annual Recovery is Beautiful Gala- Ashley Julian. 💜

Ashley's recovery began on June 21st, 2023. She is the mother to 4 beautiful children and is due to become a grandma in October! Her story includes overcoming difficult circumstances and past legal challenges, which became experiences that helped shape her strength and resilience today. Ashley now works in the recovery field, giving back to the community, and learning so much along the way.

She enjoys spending time with her amazing fiancé and family, shopping and tanning. 🥰

Ashley's runway outfit was donated by Glitter, Sparkles & All Gowns Bejeweled, who has been a sponsor of this event the last few years. We are so grateful for their continued support of what we do. If you're needing a beautiful dress for any event, check out their page linked above. 👠👗

We are so blessed to see so many beautiful mothers reunited with their children after they complete our 28-day substance use treatment program, so we are infinitely grateful to community resources geared towards enabling mothers to continuously grow and learn!

We hope to see many of our graduates and their families at this upcoming resource fair!
