Addiction services in rural communities are hard to come by, but are crucial in the recovery process.

Anita McFadden understands how difficult recovery can be, and how important it is to receive support from a nurturing community.

McFadden went through addiction and mental health issues herself, which she describes as a “battle of a lifetime.”

She started More To Me Peer Support Services right here in Sackville just last June to create a support network for those struggling with substance use disorder.
