Root Center Breaks Ground On First Residential Treatment Facility
April 18, 2023
Get excited because we are continuing to grow and expand! In March, we broke ground in New Britain on what will be our FIRST residential facility. This facility will replace our former NB Clinic on Whiting Street.
It will be state-of-the-art, and offer patients a beautiful treatment center where they can continue their recovery. Root is committed to helping those who struggle with mental health and addiction because we are stronger together, and recovery is possible!
We anticipate opening the clinic in the summer of 2024. Thank you to all those who attended, including our media partners. Check out this recap from NBC Connecticut to see more on this exciting day.
