Centre County Needs

The Northcentral PA Recovery Hub has identified key needs within the county to enhance recovery support. Addressing these needs will help create a more connected and supportive environment for individuals in recovery. These include:

Certified Family Recovery Specialist (CFRS) services to support families impacted by substance use, providing guidance, education, and resources to help loved ones navigate their own recovery journey alongside their family member.

CRS (Certified Recovery Specialist) refers to a trained peer support worker who has personal experience with recovery. CRSs provide support, mentorship, and guidance, helping others navigate recovery resources, set goals, and manage challenges. They play a critical role in fostering trust and encouragement within the recovery community.

CM (Case Manager) is a professional who coordinates care and support services for individuals in recovery. They help clients access needed services, such as housing, employment, and healthcare, and they create individualized care plans, monitor progress, and ensure that clients receive comprehensive, well-coordinated support.

Recovery Community Organizations (RCOs)  foster peer-driven recovery networks, provide resources, and create a sense of community for individuals and families on their recovery journey.

Recovery Housing expands access to safe, supportive recovery housing options that provide a stable environment, peer support, and resources essential for individuals to maintain long-term recovery.

Transportation ensures reliable transportation is available as a vital component of recovery, enabling individuals to attend treatment, access support services, secure employment, and engage fully in community activities.
