DARA is proud of many lifesaving success stories and District Judge Andrea Duffy, who founded the Alliance in 2016, has gratefully received many emails, letters and visits from a multitude of people who have been helped by DARA.  Additionally the doses of Narcan distributed at these events has reportedly saved multiple lives.  This is truly a “one stop shopping” function to assist those struggling with substance abuse and their families.  Even if addiction has not impacted your life yet, please attend our Forum to understand what is killing a generation.
