Why choose between brownies and cookies when you can have both? Our residents embraced the best of both worlds this week with brookies — soft, sweet, and made entirely from scratch.

These baking projects are more than a treat. They’re about showing up, working together, and creating joy in the everyday.

Nothing says community like sharing a warm meal together. This week’s brunch was cooked entirely by residents, filling our home with the smells of yummy food and mutual support.

Food is one way we practice independence, routine, and collaboration at Megan’s House. These shared moments help strengthen the bonds that make long-term recovery possible.

PSA: A New, Even Deadlier Opioid Threat 🚨

A dangerous new synthetic opioid, nitazenes, is quietly spreading across the U.S. — and it’s claiming young lives.

🔴 Up to 43 times more powerful than fentanyl
🔴 Often resistant to Narcan
🔴 Found in counterfeit pills like Xanax and Percocet
🔴 Not detected in standard drug tests

At Megan’s House, we know addiction doesn’t discriminate, and new substances like nitazenes make the opioid crisis even more dangerous. Education and awareness save lives.

💡 What you can do:
✔️ Never take pills that don’t come directly from a pharmacy.
✔️ Spread the word — many people don’t even know nitazenes exist.
✔️ Carry Narcan — while it may take multiple doses, it can still save lives.
✔️ If you or someone you love is struggling, reach out. Recovery is possible.

❤️ We stand with families who’ve lost loved ones and continue to fight for awareness, prevention, and recovery support.

All it takes is a bit of faith, trust...and pixie dust 🧚‍♀️

Our residents brought a touch of magic to Megan’s House this week by building their very own fairy garden.

Projects like this may seem small, but they carry deep meaning. They remind us that healing isn’t just about structure and routine — it’s also about imagination, play, and the freedom to create something beautiful. 💛
