Tioga 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.

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.

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.

Job Readiness provides services such as resume building, interview preparation, skills training, and connections to local employment opportunities to support individuals in recovery as they re-enter the workforce.

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.

Stigma Reduction around addiction and recovery is vital for creating inclusive, supportive communities. Through public education, advocacy, and personal storytelling, stigma reduction efforts promote understanding, empathy, and acceptance, encouraging individuals to seek help without fear of judgment.

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.
