NAPLES, Fla., Feb. 19, 2013 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- Having watched friends battle with addiction and mental health issues, Warren Sulmasy made a donation to the David Lawrence Center in Naples, Florida.

The not-for-profit is well-known for having exceptional programs to help adults and children with mental health, emotional, psychological and substance abuse challenges. They have innovative prevention and treatment services that are offered in an inpatient, residential, outpatient and community basis.

"Having watched good friends through the years struggle with alcoholism, I decided to become part of the solution by supporting this wonderful organization," said Sulmasy.

The David Lawrence Center is committed to helping patients restore and rebuild their lives by saving lives, keeping families together and improving their quality of life.

"Addiction can happen to almost anyone and the David Lawrence Center has a devoted and dedicated staff that literally helps save lives on a daily basis," said Sulmasy.

The center opened its doors in 1969 and was known as the first mental health and substance abuse clinic in Collier County. Since then, the organization has not only helped patients but lobbied the community and government to improve mental health and substance abuse care in Florida.
