Malden Overcoming Addiction (MOA)

Malden is Moving’s January 2023 Community Partner

Mission:  To connect the community with addiction support and recovery services, remove the stigma of addiction, and fight to eliminate overdose fatalities in Malden and surrounding communities.

MOA began in 2013 with a group of community members committed to increasing awareness of the growing opioid crisis, we provide a variety of support and recovery services including:

MOA Recovery Coaches –We connect trained professionals with individuals seeking avenues to recovery from substance use disorders. 

Dom DiSario Scholarship Program – Scholarship money is used to find an available bed for someone in recovery. Due to the current availability of resources, the scholarship is limited to Malden residents only.  

Malden Cares – Outreach, support, and education for those struggling with addiction in partnership with the City of Malden.

Community Events – We host a variety of community events throughout the year. To see what events are coming up next, check out our calendar.

Below is a photo of the Faces of Recovery event in November 2022.  This project was a collaborative venture with the YWCA Malden and Malden Overcoming Addiction. It was a youth-led platform that utilized interview techniques to share the stories of those who have overcome substance use disorder. Based on the concept of encouraging recovery, stopping the stigma, and spreading awareness surrounding substance use, placing youth at the center of community change.
