Since its founding on July 1, 1977, Pathway To Recovery, formerly Serento Gardens, a 501c-3 non-profit corporation, has helped over thousands overcome their chemical dependencies by giving them the support and opportunity to regain control of their lives.
Serento Gardens' name was changed in 2013. It was formed under an alliance of The Alcoholism Counseling Center of the Greater Hazleton Area and The Halfway Home of the Greater Hazleton Area. Each of these organizations were formed in 1971. Pathway To Recovery has become one of the oldest continually operating substance abuse treatment and education centers in Pennsylvania.

Qualifying for assistance from Pennsylvania's program usually depends on the severity of your condition and financial circumstance. Read our full guide to Pennsylvania's program.
A community counseling agency is a group therapy practice that offers affordable mental health services. Most are independent non-profit agencies, state agencies, or publicly-funded agencies. A few may restrict who is eligible for services, so it is a good idea to check when you call.
Community counseling agencies are generally more affordable than other therapy providers, but how much more affordable they are will depend on whether you qualify for a discount or sliding scale fee (or if they accept your insurance). Many, but not all, have a policy that they won't turn away anyone due to inability to pay. You should ask about their fees when you first call.
Expect to talk to kind people who want to help you find the care you need. Most community agencies strive to connect you with a live person within 24 hours, if not immediately. If you're asked to hold or leave a message, don't give up; just leave a message and wait. You should hear back pretty quickly.
Most agencies try to set up an initial assessment appointment within a week (some do within 24 hours), though the waitlist to start therapy is usually longer—about a few weeks on average. If you're not eligible or if the agency is not right for you, it's usually still worth it to call or drop in, because staff are knowledgeable about local options and can often refer you to one.
