As The Thomas Joseph Franzese Foundation evolves, we continue to emphasize the importance of awareness of the disease of addiction through education, stressing prevention. Unfortunately, this epidemic continues to spread and there is great need for treatment and support for those who are afflicted. once treatment is complete there is still a need for ongoing support. it is this need that leads us to share our enthusiasm for a new program being offered at Ramapo College of New Jersey. our Foundation looks forward to partnering with and supporting this program.
