It was an honor to present an official House citation to Julie Pittman, office manager at the West Branch Drug and Alcohol Abuse Commission, for her 25th anniversary. Julie’s contributions have ensured efficient daily operations while supporting staff, leadership, and the many individuals and families served by the commission.

I recognize it takes a village to walk someone through recovery. Julie’s dedication is a testament to the power of compassion and perseverance in the fight against substance abuse.

Recovery is not a straight line. It’s built on trust, respect, and perseverance.

In this video, you’ll meet Riean Minnich, Case Management Specialist, and her client Harvey. Together, they’ve built a relationship rooted in accountability, encouragement, and steady support.

Harvey shares what it means to experience life without substance use — and how having someone walk alongside him made a difference.

At West Branch Drug & Alcohol, recovery is personal. It’s about people. It’s about connection. It’s about lighting the way forward.

Watch their story.

Enrollment is now open for the Strengthening Families Program.

This evidence-based program helps families build stronger bonds, enhance parenting skills, and prevent teen substance use through engaging, hands-on activities.

Families learn how to:
• Strengthen relationships and communication
• Manage emotions and reduce behavior challenges
• Set goals and navigate peer pressure
• Support teens in making healthy, positive choices

Dinner is provided at every session, making it easier for families to come together, learn, and grow.

The Strengthening Families Program is coordinated by Lydia Plankenhorn.
