WILKES-BARRE — Together with colleagues, providers, educators, judges, law enforcement, and government officials from both Lackawanna and Luzerne Counties, the Clear Brook Foundation celebrated the official grand opening of two new “Recovery Connect Centers” located in Wilkes-Barre and Scranton with ribbon-cutting ceremonies on Wednesday.

Recovery Connect provides individuals and families experiencing the effects of drug and alcohol addiction with guidance, confidential assessments, and referrals to the appropriate level of care. Funded through the 2018 sale of Clearbrook Manor and a generous grant from the AllOne Foundation, all services provided to the community through Recovery Connect are free of charge.

The Wilkes-Barre location is at 57 N. Main St.
