The Root Center recently celebrated a successful Grand Opening for our New Britain Residential Treatment Clinic!

 

On Thursday, January 9th, we held a successful Grand Opening ribbon cutting ceremony for our newest clinic. This clinic is located where our former New Britain site was housed at 70 Whiting Street. That former New Britain Clinic was moved to a brand new site in 2022 on East Main Street.

 

Now, for the first time in Root's more than 151 year history, we are getting ready to accept patients at this new 16 bed facility. We are eager to be able to provide patients with this more intensive treatment that many so desperately need.

 

Special thanks to everyone who has supported the Root Center and our mission. Our Board members, community Legislators and Leaders, media partners, and of course, our staff. We know this new facility will go on to help so many patients.

 

Check out some photos from our Grand Opening celebration!
