This week’s podcast features Donna DeLuca and her son, Matt, the founders of The CARES Group, a support group for families dealing with addiction.

CARES stands for “Community Addiction and Recovery Education and Support Group.”

DeLuca’s two sons, including Matt, were addicted to drugs for years.

DeLuca, a Newtown resident and retired school administrator, discovered that talking to other moms and families dealing with addiction helped her situation.

Matt, meanwhile, has a few years clean and has dedicated himself to helping other addicts.
