NEWTON and STUART, Fla. — Gloucester Police Chief Leonard Campanello and John Rosenthal, co-founders of The Police Assisted Addiction and Recovery Initiative (P.A.A.R.I.), are pleased to announce that Waters Edge Recovery has joined the growing list of treatment centers that have partnered with P.A.A.R.I. to offer addiction recovery services to program participants.
Over the summer, Chief Campanello and businessman John Rosenthal launched P.A.A.R.I. — a nonprofit organization created in response to Gloucester Police Department’s ANGEL Initiative. Rather than arrest their way out of the problem of drug addiction, police departments place those who come to them for help into treatment programs. As partnerships with recovery centers continue to grow, so does P.A.A.R.I.’s ability to support police departments who want to assist their communities in saving lives.
“It is an honor to support Chief Campanello, a distinguished law enforcement figure, who understands the need and opportunity to treat addiction instead of punishing its symptoms; to empower people into a lifestyle characterized by health, accountability and positive community involvement,” said Tyler Gorman, President of Waters Edge Recovery. “We are committed to being a resource for and partner to P.A.A.R.I., and to continue our efforts helping those in need of treatment options to end the cycle of crime and addiction.”
