Staff: Recovery Support

Greg Lachat

Recovery Center Coordinator

I feel very fortunate to be joining the impressive legacy of coordinators at A Clean Slate Recovery Center. Each new coordinator has helped the center grow, and I hope to build upon the resources and relationships forged over the years at ACS. I’m excited to provide the community with a local safe space, equipped with a wealth of information and life changing resources. It is very encouraging to enter such a positive and enthusiastic staff at A Clean Slate and Recovery Revolution.​

I grew up in Central Pennsylvania in a community not unlike the Slate Belt and graduated from Lock Haven University with a degree in Fine Art. Moving to Northampton County (Nazareth) in 2021, I found a sense of community that reminded me of home but also a place for me to forge my own future.​

Asking for help can be extremely difficult for anyone. I hope to play my part in removing the stigma of addiction and the road to recovery. I was blessed enough to have a positive view of recovery and treatment prior to getting help. Even so, positive steps can sometimes be the hardest ones to take, and I was no different. If I can provide information that eases that leap of faith, I feel I have succeeded. I gained this opportunity by simply letting the people around me know “where I was at”, and I hope I can encourage others to do the same. ​

In my free time, my passions are creating artwork, including a running comic book title, playing the guitar, and fanatically following my nephew’s baseball career.

Lori M. Roselli

Recovery Service Coordinator

As a Recovery Service Coordinator, I’m genuinely excited to join the team of caring and compassionate professionals at Recovery Revolution.  ​ I look forward to working in this position which aligns perfectly with my aspirations and personal interests as a member of the recovery community.  I have a strong foundation both personally and professionally working in the community, and I am excited to build upon both.   My role as a Recovery Service Coordinator at Recovery Revolution presents an opportunity to grow professionally and serve those who need help with their recovery.​

I attended Northampton Community College in 2020-2021 and received my certification as a Certified Recovery Specialist, from the State of Pennsylvania PCB Board of Certifications.  Previously I worked as a Patient Care Technician at an inpatient facility. Meeting client needs upon intake and making them feel welcome and safe gives me purpose at work as I enjoy helping others.​

Navigating the resources and social service systems in recovery can be tough for those embarking on a new journey. I believe that building trusting relationships with individuals can aid in the ability of helping them to reach their goals.  My goal is to partner with our clients while developing a simplified care plan while keeping a person first centered approach.  ​

I live locally in the Slate Belt area and enjoy time doing fun activities with family and friends.  Cooking, baking, and gardening are my favorite ways to unwind. Admiring nature, soaking up the sun and listening to music are always rejuvenating for me and enjoyable.

Patty Dearie

Office Manager

Patty Dearie came to the RR team in 2014.  She started out part-time and has worked her way to the Office Manager position.  Though she completed the Certified Recovery Specialist Classes while employed at a Sober Living House, Patty didn’t have much experience in the field.  When asked her favorite quote, she said, “Live by Faith, Not by Fear.”

When asked about her work experience with RR, she replied, “I immediately began loving my job from the beginning.  One of the things that stood out to me was from the moment I walked through the door, I felt comfortable.  Everyone that works here goes above and beyond to help those suffering from an addiction.  No one is ever turned away that truly wants help, even if they are unable to pay.  RR makes it possible for all to get the help they need.  A great example solidifying what a great place RR is to work for – most of the staff employed at RR have been here for many years and plan to retire from this organization!” 

Dale L. Harris

CRS
PT Administrative Assistant
PT Coordinator at A Clean Slate

Dale attended Morris County College, Randolph, NJ and holds an AA degree in Liberal Arts, Major Journalism.  Dale began with RR as a Coordinator at A Clean Slate Resource Center in 2018 and came on board to Recovery Revolution in early 2019.  Dale can be seen working at A Clean Slate Resource Center, and at RR as an Administrative Assistant working in our front office.  Dale became a Certified Recovery Specialist in 2018. Dale works on many projects, events, and marketing tasks with RR and A Clean Slate’s social media pages. Dale’s favorite quote is “There is no chemical solution to a spiritual problem.” 

Dale enjoys being a part of the RR team and is looking forward to the future here.  She brings her passion of encouraging others to work every day.  “I enjoy bringing the many community organizations together and seeing them come together for the common good of recovery.  I have worked extensively with volunteers and believe in the recovery capital in individuals, and see the potential in those who work on enhancing others’ lives through service work.”

In January 2021, Dale was about to make the transition from Admin to full-time Certified Recovery Specialist. She was integral in creating the program Thrive: Empowerment thru Experience. She now works with the Recovery Support Team and is a liaison between A Clean Slate, Thrive, and Recovery Revolution.

Cerena Melazzo

PT Administrative Assistant

Cerena joined the RR staff in April 2023. She feels that the staff at RR have become a second family to her to the point that she always looks forward to coming to work. One of her favorite things about being with the RR team is the compassion and care the recovery staff have for each one of our clients. We desire complete transformation, and a good day is one where we can celebrate alongside a client who finds themselves with an entirely new outlook on life. “Grace and restoration abound freely here,” says Cerena.

She is a mom to three very busy teenagers and one very fluffy dog. She can often be found either in the kitchen, baking or experimenting with new recipes for dinner, or in the garden having fun. 

Love is meeting needs and at Recovery Revolution, our staff pride ourselves in meeting the needs of the recovery community.
