Loving Giving Local: Gaudenzia
Helping people overcome addictions — That's the mission of an organization that got a visit from Loving Giving Local.
In more than 56 years of service in Pennsylvania, Gaudenzia has helped more than 350,000 people recover their lives.
'Gaudenzia is a treatment provider in Erie for substance abuse disorders and mental health conditions. And wherever you are in your recovery journey, we have a program for you,' said Lisa Hermann-Bradley, program director.
Gaudenzia offers withdrawal management and residential treatment services, and both traditional and intensive outpatient services.
Hermann-Bradley said, 'All our treatment services are individualized, with group and individual services. We even have a couple residential programs that are specifically for women and women with children. where their children can be with them in treatment if that would be a barrier to getting help. Whatever we need, we can provide.'
Hermann-Bradley said it's a lifelong journey of wellness and recovery just like any other illness.
'The best thing we can do is instill hope in others and let them know there is another way to live,' said Hermann-Bradley.
Gaudenzia was this week's recipient of $250 from Auto Express. In presenting the check, Joe Askins of Auto Express said, 'Guadenzia provides programs that are necessary to our community so for us to be able to deliver Loving Giving Local here today and to learn the donation we bring is going to go toward something fun for their clients. That's what loving giving local is all about.'.
