New Jersey - 2008 Tree of Hope at Crawford House

2008 Tree of Hope

NCADD of Middlesex County, Inc. celebrates National Recovery Month each September by awarding the Tree of Hope to an organization that promotes recovery. Too often, the public's image of an alcoholic or drug addict is that of someone in, or one step away from, the gutter.

The Tree of Hope aims to change that image by bringing together individuals who have experienced the life-changing transformation that true recovery brings. These individuals are our neighbors, friends, and family members. By recognizing these individuals publicly, they not only help change the perception that addiction is hopeless, but their example can be a powerful inspiration for those just starting on the road to recovery themselves.

This year's recipient is Crawford House in Skillman. A ceremony to re-dedicate their Tree of Hope, and recognize the facility, will be held September 16th starting at 5pm. [ more information ]
