Our very own Mike Schaub, Senior Director of Community Relations, was recognized and honored today as this year's Joseph L. Galletta "Spirit of Recovery" Award Recipient.
Dr. Joseph L. Galletta was a man who touched many lives at some point on their road to recovery. He was truly an addiction treatment pioneer. He was one of the first physicians to become certified in the new field of Addiction Medicine in 1983. Dr. Galleta was a man of great generosity, giving freely of his time and resources for the simple reward of helping. On many occasions, Dr. Galletta provided services to countless individuals regardless their ability to pay and also provided his time servicing on the boards of various facilities and organizations free of charge. His trademark positive attitude and optimistic outlook was an encouragement to all who knew him.
Presented by Hemet Valley Recovery Center, this great honor was a tribute to both the amazing work done by Dr. Galletta and Mike Schaub, an individual who's work emulates such a spirit and dedication to the field of recovery.
Mike Schaub has been recognized today as a man who embodies and demonstrates a dedication to the 12 step philosophy, leadership in the recovery field, the encouragement of others, and the promotion of sober lifestyles.
Mike, thank you for your continued dedication and leadership! Congratulations!

Mariposa and Stepping Stones provide comprehensive residential drug and alcohol treatment for women (and women with children) in a safe, supportive, and nurturing environment. Based on a social model philosophy, we believe that abstinence from drugs and alcohol is but a beginning. Anger Management, Parenting, Relapse Prevention, Domestic Violence Prevention and Family Reunification are also integral parts of the treatment process. Groups and individual sessions are facilitated by certified counselors. Additional linkages to mental health and medical services are provided as needed.
Our Social Model Recovery Systems programs have been showing their support by creating some awareness surrounding Red Ribbon Week. We have turned our facilities red, wore red ribbons, and shared the history with our staff and residents. Residents at River Community created Pledge Cards and Mid Valley Outpatient created a Red Ribbon Week wall. Red Ribbon Week has been a reminder of how communities can pull together to battle against drugs and promote drug-free lives!
