Big thanks to Land of Goshen Treatment Center for allowing Lawrence County Health Department to participate in the 3rd Annual Somebody’s Someone Overdose Awareness Day Event. This was a time to remember those lost to addiction and to celebrate those who have gone through the fire of addiction and were able to break free. Instead of seeing people for what they're doing or who they used to be, may we remember this sweet quote shared with us: “no judgement, only gratitude and a positive attitude”.
