For decades, people with substance abuse disorder, and their families, have come to Marlborough's Addiction Referral Center seeking help. The Center provides access to meetings, detox centers, sober housing, a friendly smile, and much more. Many people who keep the Center have their own stories to tell about recovery. As we enter a new year, there's a new concern for the Center, as they need a permanent address to keep their work going for another 50 years. Tracey Gustafson, President of the ARC Board, and Mitch Bannon, a member of the Board, talk with Nichole about what they have to offer those in need, and their efforts to find a place to call home.

Speaker 1 (00:07):
From WBZ News Radio in Boston. This is New England Weekend.
Each and every week right here, we come together, we
talk about all the topics important to you and the
place where you live. It is so good to be
back with you again this week. I'm Nicole Davis. For
more than five decades now in central Massachusetts, people who
have substance abuse disorder and their families have come through
(00:27):
the doors of the Addiction Referral Center looking for help.
The center provides access to meetings, detox housing, and much more,
and many of the people who keep the center going
can also speak to their own journeys in recovery. Mitch
Bennon is a member of the board at the center.
Tracy Gustafson is the president of the board. It's really
good to have you both here. Thank you for your time,
(00:48):
and let's learn a bit about what you do. Tracy,
give us more detail if you could, about the center's
history and the work you do well.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
The Addictionary Refro Center has actually been around since nineteen
seventy two, okay, so over fifty years. But we started
very small as really just a volunteer organization with people
that were in the community there to support other people
that were struggling.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
With substance use disorder.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
So it's we've always been a peer support center people
in recovery, helping other people find recovery. Over the years,
we were mostly run by volunteers, and more recently, over
the last fifteen years or so, we have just become
I should say, in nineteen eighty three we became a
(01:33):
five oh one C three nonprofit, so we incorporated and
things got a little more formalized, but we still were
run by volunteers, and over the last fifteen years or so,
we've had paid some paid staff, but we just have
two part time employees and that enables us to just
expand the services that we provide to the community.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
All right, So Mitch, where are you based and how
far do your services stretch? Like if somebody's listening and say,
I don't know Springfield or so, would they be able
to access your services or is this just greater Boston?
Speaker 4 (02:04):
Sure? So the ARC is located at thirty three Main
Street in Marlborough, Massachusetts. Our reach extends to surrounding towns
like Marlborough and Hudson and Clinton and Westborough and Northborough.
Primarily I would say in between Route one twenty eight
and four ninety five. We host a number of meetings
(02:27):
and probably have close to two hundred people cycling through
for AA meetings and A meetings and some other things
that we're adding.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
Wow, yeah, I noticed that on your website. It's essentially
just one stop shop for everything that you need to
get into recovery. So Tracy, let's expand on that a
little bit. You offer meetings, of course, but what are
some of the other services you offer for somebody who
might be saying, now is the time for me to
go take that step into recovery.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
The great thing is that we just ask people to
go ahead and give a call and ask for help,
and we are able to provide referrals to a detox,
you know, if it's an emergency situation or a treatment center.
It's really we're helping people navigate the system out there.
There is there's lots of different resources that are available,
(03:16):
but often for you know, it's hard for people to
find what's available to them and how to get into
those kind of treatment centers. We also offer transportation to
detox for someone who is again in an emergency situation.
We want to make sure that if someone's calling or
if a friend or family member is calling for someone
else that we're able to get them there right away
(03:38):
when they're ready to go. So that's been that's been
a newer service that we've added that's been really helpful. Also,
we just added this year in twenty twenty four assistance
for our emergency assistance for people who are trying to
enter sober housing in a path of recovery. Often a
person will go through a detox and then an inpatient
treatment center and so after about thirty days, they're on
(04:01):
their own, and a case manager in that case might
often recommend that a person go into a sober housing
environment and that's just going to help them kind of
get through that next step, make that transition. But sober
housing isn't covered by insurance and it's costly like all
housing in Massachusetts. So we are able to give people
(04:22):
a scholarship to pay for the first month's rent so
they can get in the door. And then once they're
in the sober housing, they'll work with that housing manager
who works with them to find a job and move
forward from there so that they can continue to live there.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
Yeah, and that's so important, Mitch, because I think a
lot of people who are just getting out of detox.
They're kind of trying to find their way and they're
out there most vulnerable at that time, and they really
do need kind of that support that you offer at
ARC to kind of get them okay over that final
hurdle onto that path to recovery. Do you notice that
when it comes to people you work with and are
(04:57):
you seeing a lot more people lately come in for
your services?
Speaker 4 (05:01):
I think we are. Yeah, So a little background, I
am in recovery and have been for over seven and
a half years. I was a consumer of those services
at the hour for many years and I still go
to a meeting every morning called Early Risers at six
forty five AM.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
Good for you.
Speaker 4 (05:22):
That's my drive. There is how I was introduced to
your show on Sunday mornings.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Look at that. Oh love that.
Speaker 4 (05:29):
And so yes, we're finding, especially with the opioid problem,
we're finding that people are suffering. We are non clinical,
so our clients, if you will, this is a completely
free service to them and usually might not have insurance
(05:51):
of any kind at all, so we're able to help
them navigate their way and meet other addicts and people
suffering from substance use disorder from a peer level, and
I think for me that is the strongest value add
we have.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
Now. I noticed too, Tracy on your website that you
are looking to kind of expand a little bit. You
need new home, You're trying to get a new space.
Tell me about what you're looking for and the help
that you need to get that done.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
Yeah, we have.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
As I said, Nicole, we've been around since nineteen seventy
two and we've moved three or four times. And what
we would really and we kind of feel like we're
here to stay because we provide a valuable resource. We
have generations of families that come and use the services.
People in the area know that we're here.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
You know, we're local.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
It's a nice it's just a nice, safe environment for people.
But what we would but we're in a least space.
So we have moved several times because we lose our
least space and developers come in. So what we'd love
to do is find a permanent home for the ARC,
just a small building, you know, a few thousand feet
where we would have a couple of different meeting rooms
so that people for these peer support meetings, so that
(07:04):
we'd be able to host those and then also some
office area and some private spaces. We also, in addition
to the other services that I mentioned we have, we
offer recovery coach appointments, so that's one on one peer
support for people, just to give them a little bit
more of an intensified thing. And as Mitch mentioned, all
these services are at no cost. We are totally funded
(07:26):
by our individual donors, by the small businesses in our region,
and by foundations locally. So we are really that safety
net for people that are often unassured or falling through
the cracks, and so we'd love to just have our
own permanent spot. We have a we started a capital campaign.
We have about three hundred and fifty thousand dollars raised
(07:48):
through donations from donors. But unfortunately in Massachusetts you can't
buy a building.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Not where you can.
Speaker 3 (07:56):
Yeah, we really need to grow our capital campaign.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
We would we really need to find a spot that
has parking and it's easy to get to. So we're
always keeping an ear out for, you know, possibilities for
buildings in this in the Metro West region. We've lived
in Marlboro for a long time. We'd like to stay
in the Marlboro Hudson type of region if we can,
(08:19):
but we're keeping ourselves open to wherever those possibilities are.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Yeah, I'm noticing here. I've got your fundraiser up. You're
looking for about eight hundred thirty thousand dollars because you
want to get a space. I mean, that's you know,
these days, that seems like a lot of money, but
it's not a lot of money. When it comes to
buying a forever home for a very worthy nonprofit, you
need that kind of money. And the wonderful thing is
it's all about community what you do, and so community
can kind of come together and get this done. So
(08:46):
we'll talk in a couple of minutes about how people
can contribute to that. But I also noticed, Mitch that
you all have a comedy show coming up. This is
happening in just a few weeks. If you want to
talk about that, what people can expect, I'd love to
hear about it.
Speaker 4 (08:58):
Sure. We have two major fundraisers every year. One is
a golf tournament held in Northborough on the third Friday
of August and that's a significant amount of money for
the Hour to run our operations. And then I believe
our biggest fundraiser is a comedy night where we have
(09:25):
we have up to four hundred, four hundred and fifty
people pay thirty five dollars per ticket, and we have
it at the Portuguese American Club in Hudson, and it's
a great night and we hire some great comedians and
you know, we've had fantastic results from from that particular night,
(09:49):
and the next one is coming up Friday.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Yeah, I was just gonna say, I was going to
give you the reminder it's Friday, February seventh, is going
to be twenty twenty five. It's going to be that
it's our four teenth annual comedy show. And don't forget Mitch. Also,
sponsorships are available so the fun. You know, we have
tickets for sale to come and join us, but we
also ask for sponsors, and we put together an ad
(10:13):
booklet so that sponsors and you'll see that information. It's
the easiest place to find that is on the website.
People can sponsor a page or a half page in
our ad booklet. We have really reasonable prices and that
money is all going towards supporting our operating expenses at.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
The r Easy enough, easy enough, very straightforward. So Mitch.
If somebody like you perhaps wants to take that first
step and find a fellowship meeting or reach out and
get some support, how can they connect with you at ARK?
Speaker 4 (10:45):
It starts with calling the phone number, the main phone number,
and we get back to our folks very very quickly, okay,
and we'll start asking some questions and see what their
availability is and what they're willing to do, and then
we'll go from there. We have a lot of different
ways to navigate this disease, and you know, we've been
(11:08):
very successful, as Tracy said, generationally, we've had grandparents and
parents and children of those parents come through our doors
and help them, you know, kind of see the light
that there's another way of loving.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
Yes, for sure, and I really appreciate the work that
you're doing because again, sometimes this disease does run in families,
and you are helping to stop generational trauma from moving
on to another another generation. And we did talk about
that fundraiser really quickly, Tracy. Where can people find out
more about your desire to move, about what you need
(11:44):
for that new building, and how can they contribute?
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Well, the our website is a great place to start,
and on the website In addition, there's also a meeting
schedule on the website. So, as we've talked about a
couple of times here, we do have peer support meetings.
We have over twenty five meetings a week, and people
can get that meeting calendar at the website, and people
are just people that are looking for recovery meetings, looking
to meet other people in recovery, can go there. Also
(12:10):
on the website, there's lots of other info about our services.
There's a link there for the comedy show that talks
about the tickets and the information and how to do
a sponsorship there. And then we have a building We
have a building fund page two on our website that
talks about what we're looking for in a building and
if people would like to specifically donate to that campaign,
(12:32):
they can do that. So there's a couple donate links.
There's the comedy show, there's our general donations which are
always ongoing and welcome, and then there's our specific donate
link for the building fund campaign.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
And we just want people to know that we're a community.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
We're a recovery community, and we've really found you know,
as Mitch talked about his own personal experience, I've had
the same experiences at the ARC. It's a community of
people in a community of support, and that's what we
provide when someone calls, when they stop by to go
to a meeting. You know, we welcome you in and
we help you get the help that you need, kind
of meet you where you are.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
I love that, all right. So the website Addiction Referralcenter
dot org. The Addiction Referral Center dot org. Give me
the the So the Addiction Referralcenter dot org. Tracy, what's
your phone number where people can find you?
Speaker 3 (13:19):
Five o eight four eight five four three five seven.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
Well, Mitch and Tracy, thank you for the work you're
doing for people in the Midwest and I should say
the Metro West in recovery and the Midwest too, probably
on zoom who knows. And you know, have a great
new year, and fingers crossed that you're able to get
into your new home very soon.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
