What Makes Huntington Creek Recovery Center Different?

At Huntington Creek Recovery Center, we empower our patients by helping to identify, assess, and develop strategies for overcoming all the obstacles that have prevented them from living a sober life.

These may include art therapy, acupuncture, campfire groups, hiking, meditation, ropes courses, nature walks, team-building exercises, volleyball, and yoga. They provide excellent opportunities for patients to learn new ways to express themselves and process their emotions in our serene setting on the banks of the Susquehanna River.
