Special room provides comfort for people dealing with addiction

WASHINGTON COUNTY, Pa. — A special room has been set aside for comforting people dealing with addiction in Washington County.

Chris' Room is at the Southwestern Pennsylvania Human Services Addiction Center in Washington.

It's particularly special for the Walls family because their son Chris was 33-years-old when he died from a heroin overdose in 2016.

The room was dedicated to him Tuesday.

"There's a lot of stories on television and the radio and I don't know if you can saturate the airwaves with this because so many people succumb to this battle, (but) I'm gratified the attention is being given in Chris' name," said his father, Bill Wall.

Chris' Room was made possible with donations from his family and friends in his memory.
