Growing Together – A Therapeutic Gardening Initiative

Taking care of a life other than your own can have a profound therapeutic effect on the mind. Watching something you nurture thrive and grow can be both beautiful and symbolic of personal growth.

Deerfield Center for Addiction Treatment (DCAT) is partnering with Intensive Outpatient Clients to cultivate mindfulness and life skills through plant care. This initiative involves propagating, planting, and maintaining a variety of plants as a hands-on approach to healing. In the spring, the program will expand into container gardening with vegetables, further enhancing their therapeutic experience.

To support this initiative, DCAT is seeking donations of pots, potting soil, plants, or cuttings. If you have any materials to contribute, they can be sent to Deerfield Behavioral Health in Warren or dropped off in person at the office at 1003 Pennsylvania Ave. West, Warren, PA.

Your support helps foster growth—both in our clients and in the community. Thank you for your generosity!

For more information, please contact Jean Berry at jberry@dbhn.com, 814-723-5545 Ext. 4127.

Hey Hey.... There is a new Narcotics Anonymous meeting in Tionesta!!!

01/29/2025

Deerfield Centers for Addictions Treatment (DCAT) has been invited to participate as one of 35 select providers in to focus on reform work for American Society of Addiction Medicine - ASAM initiative. This invitation marks a significant opportunity for DCAT to influence the future of substance use disorder (SUD) treatment in our state.

This is not the first occasion the team has contributed to important initiatives with the Pennsylvania Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs (DDAP) this year. DCAT is currently actively engaging with the DDAP Administrative Burdens work group to address potential regulatory changes to the PA 700 codes for therapeutic services. Involvement in both projects underscores the trust placed in DCAT to represent the community's SUD needs. Keep up the good work!

REENTRY SIMULATION Presented by:
PA Department of Corrections; Department of Re-Entry Services
Hosted by:
Warren Forest Counties Economic Opportunity Council
The Reentry Simulation is designed to give a real “shoe on the other foot” experience for participants. It is structured in a way to simulate a month in the life of someone recently released from incarceration. Each participant going through the simulation is provided with a life card (or life scenario) and packet (includes any resources that the individual is given upon “release” from incarceration). They are then required to complete certain tasks based on their individual life scenario. This allows each participant to see, first hand, the barriers that the reentrant faces as they return to the community. To simulate the month, there are 4 “weeks” in the scenario, with each “week” lasting 10-15 minutes. All tasks for that “week” have to be completed within that time frame or there could be consequences (i.e. jail time).
Date: March 7th 2025 Time: 10:00am – 1:00pm
Location: Salvation Army 311 Beech St Warren Pa 16365
No Cost!!!! This event is free to participants and offered by Department of Corrections at No Cost
Suggested Donation: If you would like to make donation the suggestion toward Pastries/Coffee – Light Lunch/Beverages the suggestion is $10
