A DeWitt County group of individuals passionate about getting help to those battling substance abuse has disbanded.

The DeWitt County Substance Abuse Coalition is no longer and its President, Paul Skowron who is also the CEO of Warner Hospital and Health Services, says it's not a bad thing. He points out many agencies that they relied on for networking are receiving more money now to help more people.

Skowron reminds, the Substance Abuse Coalition was put together to combat the growing overdose epidemic that was impacting communities all over the country. 

The Coalition held several community events for support and awareness but also made contacts in the community helping individuals in need find recovery resources as well.
