About MCCDA

Building a stronger, healthier community together

The Mercer County Coalition for Drug Awareness (MCCDA) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting individuals and families affected by substance use disorder.

Through our ROAR Center (Removing Obstacles to Assist Recovery), we provide a safe, welcoming space where community members can access peer support, attend recovery meetings, and connect with resources that promote healing and long-term wellness.

Our mission is to reduce stigma, increase awareness, and empower individuals on their journey to recovery through compassionate, community-driven support.

Stories of Hope

Real voices from our community

"

The ROAR Center gave me a place to belong when I felt completely lost. The peer support groups helped me realize I wasn't alone, and that made all the difference in my recovery.

As a family member, I didn't know where to turn. The Family Support Circle gave me tools to cope and connected me with others who truly understood what I was going through.

Walking through those doors for the first time was scary, but I was greeted with kindness and zero judgment. This place has become my second home and my support system.
