\u201cCome and celebrate the grand opening of The Recovery Station. Be among the first to experience our new kitchen and discover your favorite spot in town.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With that clear invitation, Luke Granger, director of Recovery Services at UConnectCare (formerly Genesee\/Orleans Council on Alcoholism and Substance Abuse), is welcoming everyone to check out the agency\u2019s drug- and alcohol-free social gathering place at 5256 Clinton St. Rd., Batavia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The grand opening is scheduled from 5-9 p.m. on Sept. 20 and will feature two bands \u2013 Groove and Black Cherry Voodoo \u2013 along with free food and refreshments. Reservations are requested by calling 585-815-5248 but not required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Granger said The Recovery Station has come a long way since UConnectCare purchased the former Bohn\u2019s Restaurant and opened it up to people in recovery in the spring of 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen the program was launched it was exactly when the COVID-19 pandemic hit, so we\u2019ve never experienced any kind of grand opening,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd when I came on board, we were on a shoestring budget and did the best we could with what we had to work with.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since then, Granger said the agency has received grants and money from the opioid settlement \u201cthat has allowed us to do a number of different things, including renovating the kitchen and making some other capital purchases.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said he and his staff are pleased to be able to offer a variety of activities and to provide light food and refreshments to those who utilize the completely remodeled facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis grand opening is about opening our arms to the community and allowing them to come in and join us \u2013 not only supporting recovery but celebrating those people in recovery,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Melissa Vinyard, coordinator of The Recovery Station, echoed Granger\u2019s comments while adding that she realizes that people in recovery have a hard time locating social environments that don\u2019t include alcohol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs a person in recovery, I think one of the greatest barriers for people in recovery are finding places to go to learn how to have fun again, without the drinking and without the drugs,\u201d she said. \u201cAt The Recovery Station, they can find that outlet and take part in all that we have to offer \u2013 making new friends, playing pool, watching TV or using our fitness equipment.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vinyard also mentioned that The Recovery Station has purchased the NFL\u2019s YouTube Sunday package and will be streaming games on the several big screen televisions that have been purchased recently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re going to be open on Sundays, starting with the first Buffalo Bills game on Sept. 8, and every Sunday to the Super Bowl,\u201d she said. \u201cWe\u2019re going to serve some refreshments and pizza and pop and other snacks and just have a good time rooting for the Bills and your favorite team.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
