PABLO — The network of support for those transitioning to live substance-free grew a little wider last week with the opening of a new “Recovery Village Hub” for Never Alone Recovery Support and Services in Pablo. Community members gathered to celebrate with an open house, prayer and blessing ceremony on April 17. Those who attended were greeted warmly with hugs and offered a meal prior to the blessing and opening ceremonies. The new hub is an expansion of services in the Pablo area, explained NARSS Executive Director Don Roberts. NARSS’ mission is “to provide long term recovery support services to individuals struggling with addiction and homelessness.” To achieve this aim, NARSS offers drop-in centers, group recovery support, individual recovery support, a recovery residence
