Fiesta is in full swing and for the second time, Los Patios Community Partners hosted a Sober Fiesta party.
“It’s just a safe place to come out and enjoy fiesta without the alcohol,” David Junkin, clinical director of the Alamo Center Education and Treatment, said.
Brandon Dyer is a board member for Los Patios Community Partners, a nonprofit that is trying to break the generational cycle of substance abuse in San Antonio.“My dad didn’t like going to theme parks like SeaWorld and Disneyland was really hard for him because they sell alcohol in those places and he didn’t want to be around that when it was happening,” Dyer said.
The Sober Fiesta comes just three days after UT Health San Antonio opened a 20,000-square-foot facility that offers comprehensive substance use treatment services and research by addiction medicine specialists.This new facility will health provide treatment to those who otherwise wouldn’t have access.
This event at Los Patios combined the Fiesta fun and flavor with people who are passionate about making a more inclusive Fiesta. “It’s really exciting that we were able to be a part of this. This is a wonderful event that has taken place and it’s something close to my heart as well as for our family,” said Sirena Zimmerman, owner of Un Poco De Todo.
