David Blenk, CEO at Recovery Centers of America at Monroeville and Sara Mesko, Recovery Living Manager, were both featured on WPXI Channel 11 News.
Monroeville’s new program, Recovery Living, recently opened and acts as an in-between for people after inpatient treatment. Shares Blenk, “The problem is when they leave residential treatment it’s a highly dangerous time. Their tolerance to drugs and alcohol are low. If they want to go out and use at the same level they used previously, they’re going to overdose. There are going to be issues because of their drug use. This is intended to work in that gap to where we’ve given somebody the skills to recovery, but we need to give them an opportunity to practice those skills. That’s what we do here.”
