The association, which has successfully reintegrated over a thousand families, held an emotional tribute at the Casa de la Cultura last Sunday. The event was attended by the Councilor for Welfare, Education, and Immigration, Rubén Martínez, and the Councilor for Health, Carla Picazo, who praised GRUTEAR's work and excellent trajectory.
Under the direction of its president, María José Triguero, "honorary pins" were awarded to members with varying years of service, recognizing their commitment. The gala, enlivened by dance performances, brought together over 200 attendees.
Since its founding on November 20, 1994, GRUTEAR has focused on the detoxification, de-addiction, rehabilitation, and integration of individuals with alcoholism, drug addiction, and gambling disorders, as well as public information on the risks of consumption and support for their families. The non-profit entity operates three therapy centers provided by the Torrejón de Ardoz City Council and receives an annual subsidy of 13,532 euros. Its headquarters are located at Calle Ceuta number 7.
The association also recalls the Medal for Humanitarian Merit received in July 2018 from the Academy of Health Sciences, in recognition of its efforts.
