April 18, 2023
Exciting things are happening at Root! In February, we broke ground on what will be Middlesex County’s FIRST & ONLY healthcare clinic to offer methadone, the most utilized treatment for opioid dependence! We can’t wait to bring another state-of-the-art facility to our state to continue helping those on their journey to recovery! Stay tuned for Spring of 2024 in Middletown! Thank you to our media partners who attended, here is more on the event from WTNH reporter, Tina Detelj.
