During a time of uncertain funding, 4D Recovery continues to expand programming to help young people overcome addiction through long-term recovery.

“This center provides free long-term recovery support to any young person seeking a future free from addiction. This is a perfect example of how Measure 110 funds fund critical services,” stated Tony Vezina, Executive Director of 4D Recovery.

The center opens Friday, May 8th, 1841 NE Lytle St Bend, OR 97701, with tours starting at 1 p.m., programming starting at 1:30 p.m., and a ceremonial ribbon cutting at 2:05 p.m.

4D Recovery provides a variety of services in Oregon and SW Washington that help young people – teens and young adults – overcome substance use disorder and mental health struggles. The Bend program is a drop-in recovery center, something the Oregon’s Alcohol and Drug Policy Commission identifies as a key strategy in its 5-year plan.

This center will be led by Gabrie Ward, who grew up in Bend and found sobriety through 4D Recovery’s program in Portland, OR.

“Recovery Centers are critical because they bring young people together to find sobriety and develop life-skills to support long-term recovery. I grew up in Bend and got sober in Portland with the help of 4D Recovery. It is a blessing to bring their services to young people in the town I grew up in,” said Ward.

Program speakers include:

● Gabrie Ward, Bend

● Annaliese Dolph, ADPC

● Mayor Melanie Kebler

● Representative Emerson Levy

● Representative Jason Kropf

● Tony Vezina, Executive Director
