While the economy in the US continues to struggle, addiction is on the rise as people turn to consuming abusively to cope with the stresses of financial woes. Consequently, many people that are substance dependent may find themselves unable to afford the kind of treatment they so desperately seek to overcome their addiction. When the two factors are combined, the subsequent results are devastating to individuals, families and communities all over the US.

For this reason, the board of trustees at the C.A.R.E.S. Helps foundation, in cooperation with Professional Training, is actively seeking to raise funds in order to subsidize treatment and provide recovery scholarships for people in need. C.A.R.E.S. Helps foundation has pledged to match dollar for dollar every dollar donated. In addition, for every $22,000 collected, C.A.R.E.S. Helps foundation will provide one fully paid scholarship to a recovering addict in need.
