LRADAC’s prevention department has been teaching workshops for the HIVE Summer Camp at Irmo Middle School. Last week, Prevention Specialist Hailey Kanipe taught the students about mental health and how to “grow your mental health.” Students planted seeds in their own small pots that they decorated with positive messages and words of affirmation. #prevention #substancemisuse #mentalhealthawareness

We are so humbled and grateful to hear from patients who have benefitted from our Recovery Assistance Fund, made possible by the LRADAC Foundation. With donations to the Foundation, we are able to support our programs and services as well as help patients who are uninsured or unable to pay for treatment on their own. This kind of note not only makes our day, but also helps remind us that recovery is possible for everyone!

LRADAC is partnering with Cayce Fire Department to remind kids that, “It’s not cool to horse around with drugs.” Therapy horse, Muffin, made his debut at the Cayce-West Columbia Library yesterday for their summer reading kickoff party. Look out for more opportunities to meet Muffin this summer! Could Muffin's new slogan could be "Just Say Neigh!" to drugs and alcohol?
