About Us... How we started

"Led by their hearts.."

Led by their hearts, Debi Natale and Helen Carey, start Parent to Parent Addiction Services, Inc. in Warren County in 2014.The Parent to Parent, Inc. model was founded over twenty years ago in South Jersey by four women, three of which lost their sons to heroin overdoses. Helen's son, Billy, tragically lost his life to an accidental overdose at the age of 20 in 2013. Debi's son, Frankie, has been living in long term recovery since October 2012, after many years of suffering with a substance use disorder.

Debi and Helen met at a local 'Heroin to Pills' event. In talking, they felt God leading them to speak out and try to enact change by starting conversations about how drugs and substance use occurs in every town, with most people knowing someone who is affected. When they were living through the hell of addiction, they felt along, stigmatized and afraid for their child's life. Very early on they realized the phrase, "letting them hit rock bottom:, was not an option; unfortunately, it's either get help or they will die. In 2014, Helen and Debi had a vision and decided to start a support group for people who had a loved one suffering with a substance use disorder and no one to talk to or to answer their questions. Within months, the support group grew to over 35 people and continued to grow! This led them to realize that they couldn't help families if they didn't also help the person who was suffering access support services for themselves. Now, Parent to Parent also helps get people into detox, rehab or other treatment such as sober living or harm reduction referrals to MAT (Medical Assisted Treatment) and/or IOP if that is the desired pathway, as well as the additional services listed on our 'Services We Offer' page.
