CARES stands for “Community Addiction and Recovery Education and Support Group.”
DeLuca’s two sons, including Matt, were addicted to drugs for years.
DeLuca, a Newtown resident and retired school administrator, discovered that talking to other moms and families dealing with addiction helped her situation.
Matt, meanwhile, has a few years clean and has dedicated himself to helping other addicts.
