FISHERS — Recovery Cafe Hamilton County supports people through their toughest times, including drug addiction recovery and depression. The cafe received some support of its own this week.
"They're trying to break down those barriers for what people think recovery is," said Recovery Cafe Hamilton County Associate Executive Director Bryan Beasley."It's been wonderful." "When we say recovery, we're not just talking about substance abuse and addiction," Beasley said."It can be loneliness, it can be mental illness. It can be homelessness or food insecurity."Cafe participants include Elise Pentz, who needed emotional support in her continued recovery from a brain tumor. She also experienced substance abuse issues in her youth, including a stint in drug rehab.
Pentz has taken up art and coloring books at the cafe. She is now twelve years sober and said her new community will help keep her on that path.
