Officials say they have seen great success with the program and look forward to seeing it continue to grow and make a positive impact in the community.

"I feel that I have a purpose and a calling for this," said Scott Gras, coordinator of Hope One AC. "I've been doing this for quite some time and I love every minute of watching somebody go into treatment and get out of treatment and continue on their path of recovery."
