About us

A non-profit organization called Pathway to Recovery is based in Hazleton, Pennsylvania, and it offers comprehensive outpatient therapy to those who are struggling with co-occurring disorders, addiction, and mental health difficulties. Pathway to Recovery was founded with the goal of providing essential assistance to those struggling with chemical dependence and assisting them in taking back control of their life. The organization’s goal is based on its dedication to community well-being, placing a high value on easily accessible, compassionate treatment.

Established on July 1, 1977, under the original name Serento Gardens, Pathway to Recovery has helped hundreds of people overcome their battles with drug abuse. Having been one of the state’s first drug rehab and education facilities for many years, the organization holds a license from the Pennsylvania Department of Health and is a proud member of the Greater Hazleton Chamber of Commerce, United Way of the Greater Hazleton Area, and the Association of Recovery Schools. The name was changed in 2013 to more accurately represent the organization’s expanded goals and purpose to assist individuals in recovery.

A range of services are offered by Pathway to Recovery in order to meet the various requirements of addicts and their families. These include instructional initiatives that the Prevention Department offers to community organizations and schools, support groups designed specifically for those in recovery, and a DUI program that prioritizes safety and rehabilitation. To add to its all-encompassing approach to treatment and rehabilitation, the organization also provides free nicotine replacement therapy, employee help programs, and consulting services.

The Alcoholism Counseling Center of the Greater Hazleton Area and The Halfway Home of the Greater Hazleton Area, both founded in 1971, merged to establish the organization, which has its roots in their past. This partnership created the groundwork for Pathway to Recovery to grow into one of the area’s premier providers of drug misuse treatment, prevention education, and continuous recovery support.

Pathway to Recovery is licensed by the state of Pennsylvania and is listed by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). These accreditations serve as a testament to the organization’s dedication to upholding the best standards of care and making sure that patients get the support they need while they work toward recovery.
