Root Center breaks ground on new clinic in Hartford

September 28, 2023

On September 28th, 2023, we officially broke ground on our newest clinic in Hartford.


This new clinic, at 35 Lafayette Street, will replace our current clinic on Main Street (named Doctors Clinic). We feel that our previous clinic no longer meets the needs of patients and staff, and does not reflect what we believe recovery looks like.


Many times, mental health and addiction clinics are hidden in the shadows. We want our staff and patients to feel proud and dignified when they walk into this healthcare facility, because that is exactly what it is... a healthcare facility.


Mental health IS health, and we need to start seeing it, and treating it, as such. Our goal at the Root Center is to continue creating state-of-the-art facilities that resemble any other type of location that someone would go to for primary care, cardiology, or whatever their healthcare needs may be.


Recovery is possible, and most of all, it is beautiful.
