Local Coverage Highlights a Place for Recovery and Connection

The Observer-Reporter recently shared a look inside Club Serenity’s drop-in center at 702 Fallowfield Ave. in Charleroi. Reporter Karen Mansfield covered our ribbon-cutting and open house, where staff, local officials, and community partners gathered to mark this step forward.
The article explains how $1.5 million in funding, supported in part by Pennsylvania’s opioid settlement dollars, is helping expand recovery resources. It also highlights our peer support, recovery meetings, and recovery housing for people moving forward after treatment.
One meaningful part of the coverage is board president Mark St. Cyr’s account of his own recovery. He described how finding support at Club Serenity helped bring positive changes not only to his life, but also to his family’s.
For our neighbors in Washington, Fayette, Greene, and Westmoreland counties, this means more opportunities to find support close to home. A welcoming place to talk, connect with resources, or simply spend time with others can make reaching out feel more possible. No one should have to figure out every next step alone.
