Westwood, NJ – April 29, 2015, 2015 – Part three of the Rotary Club of Greater Westwood series HOPE OF RECOVERY will focus on the role that doctor-prescribed medications play in sparking addiction. Speakers will include an RN discussing the experience from both a professional and personal perspective, a person in recovery, and a therapist reviewing treatment options.


Attendees will be encouraged to engage the speakers by asking questions, without judgment or stigma, so they can become more informed to help family and friends to recover from a seemingly hopeless state of body, spirit and mind.
