DSAA Relocates, Plans Sober Spooktacular By Chelsea Peifer
Donegal Substance Abuse Alliance (DSAA) is moving into a new space at 78 E. Main St., Mount Joy, and executive director Stacy Emminger said with a smile, “In my mind, I see us already outgrowing this place, too.” That is the kind of big vision that Emminger has for DSAA. Emminger’s son, Anthony Perez, died of a heroin overdose at age 23 in 2014. She and other Donegal-area residents who saw and experienced the negative impact of heroin and opioid abuse in the area formed DSAA to deliver supportive approaches to addiction by educating, equipping, and supporting individuals, families, and communities. DSAA previously operated from an approximately 400-square-foot office space at 15A W. Main St., Mount Joy,
and now has room to offer more programming at its new approximately 1,275-square-foot location. With the lease signed on Sept. 1 and moving well underway, Emminger and assistant director Lexi Mercado plan to open the doors of DSAA’s new location to the public on Wednesday, Oct. 2, from noon to 6 p.m. An open house event is in the works. Details on that, as well as regular hours for the new site, will be posted at www.facebook.com/ DonegalSubstanceAbuseAlliance/ and http://dsasquared.org/ once determined. DSAA currently offers support groups for family members, assistance entering into treatment, and the Community Reinforcement and Family Training (CRAFT) program. Beginning on Wednesday, Oct. 9, instructor Kim Stoltzfus will offer 12-step yoga for See DSAA pg 6
