FCA cuts ribbon on new THRIVE East End Recovery Center

Garden City-based nonprofit Family and Children’s Association (FCA) wrapped up National Recovery Month by cutting the ribbon on its THRIVE East End Recovery Center in Riverhead on Monday, Sept. 30.

The event was attended by FCA management, THRIVE staff and volunteers, its nonprofit partners in recovery services, THRIVE clients, families and friends, and state and local government officials. 

THRIVE, Long Island’s first recovery community and outreach center, has been supporting people in their addiction recovery since 2017. Since then, THRIVE centers in Hauppauge, Westbury and the East End have served more than 30,000 people. THRIVE East End, originally in Westhampton, relocated to Riverhead to provide a more centralized and larger space to serve the recovery community of the North and South Forks. 

All programs provided by THRIVE are free of charge. 

“The success of the THRIVE community continues to grow through word of mouth and from the incredible support of our partners,” said Dr. Jeffrey L. Reynolds, president and CEO of FCA. “We know the need is real – and we’re excited to launch this new, centrally located facility to better support the East End of Long Island.”

THRIVE East End is located at 680 Elton St. in Riverhead. For more information, visit www.fcali.org.
