Happy Holidays from De Paul 
As another year comes to a close here at De Paul, we are reminded that the holidays are an especially tough time for the individuals and families we serve. On those special days when we celebrate at home with our loved ones, there are approximately 115 youth and adults in residential treatment at De Paul. The need for addiction treatment does not pause for the holidays.
Despite the challenges this time of year brings for our clients, we are incredibly grateful for our community of supporters. You provide hope and compassion that allow our clients to find freedom from addiction. Your support helps us brighten the spirits of the adults and youth working hard to get well in our treatment programs.
From all of us at De Paul, thank you and happy holidays!

 Your gifts today and throughout the year are helping individuals, families and communities create freedom from addiction. Thank you for your support!
