O'Brien House : Saving lives and families from drug and alcohol addiction

O'Brien House was established in 1971 to serve adult recovering alcoholics and drug addicts. This halfway house is named after Paul S. "Pat" O'Brien, who spent 53 years of his life working with alcoholics and educating the public about the disease of alcoholism. O'Brien House has constantly expanded and today provides a comprehensive continuum of care that includes treatment, prevention and community development initiatives.
