New Roots Recovery and Support Center in Wilkes-Barre
Our Wilkes-Barre center is New Roots’ first and the place where our mission took shape and continues to play out every day. Members can take advantage of individualized support with Certified Recovery Specialists, group programming, and shared resources such as a computer room, shower room, washer, dryer, kitchen and food pantry.
“We meet everyone where they’re at. … It’s definitely a very welcoming center. You’re not going to feel like you’re out of place.” - New Roots Wilkes-Barre employee.
