With much deliberation we have decided to cancel our Mon Valley Opioid Coalition’s National Night out event that was originally slated for August 13th. We hoped to move it to October but with the uncertainty of events of this size we made the decision as a group to hold off this year. Due to COVID-19 restrictions an event of this size is not possible at this time. ANY person can celebrate a first responder any day of the week so make sure that you get to know your home town Police and EMS. Also thank you to all our community providers and agencies who participate in planning this was not an easy decision to make. See everyone for National Night Out in 2021.

Drug and Alcohol Case Management helps individuals with substance abuse problems access treatment services which includes detoxification, residential, halfway house, and all levels of outpatient services; partial, intensive outpatient and traditional outpatient.
The Mon Valley Opioid Coalition (MVOC) coalition was formed to combat the ongoing opioid epidemic in the Mon Valley area. Colleen Hughes, Executive Director of Westmoreland Drug and Alcohol Commission and Monessen Police Chief Jim Smith co-chair the coalition. The coalition, whose vision statement is “Uniting the Mon Valley to ensure the long-term health, safety and well-being of individuals in the region,” meets monthly at Westmoreland Drug and Alcohol Commission’s office building’s training room in Monessen.
The Westmoreland Drug and Alcohol Commission, Washington Drug and Alcohol Commission and Fayette County Drug and Alcohol Commission work together to guide the efforts of the coalition. MVOC is data based, utilizing data in real time to determine what is most effective in combating opioid use overdoses. The University of Pittsburgh School of Pharmacy Pennsylvania Opioid Overdose Reduction Technical Assistance Center, provides “concierge technical assistance” for the coalition.
You have the courage to make the call. Admitting you have a substance abuse problem is a difficult step. It’s also the first step on your road to recovery.
