About Onala Recovery Center – Pittsburgh
Onala Recovery Center is a nonprofit resource center for adults searching for addiction aftercare in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. As one of the oldest and largest centers on the East Coast of their kind, they offer a safe space for adults to find help or stay on track in recovery.
Their program originated as an Alcoholics Anonymous social club. Following the AA philosophy, they offer a space for fellowship, holistic healing and education. Along with daily recovery meetings, you can access harm reduction services, rehab and detox referrals and sober living placement.
What stands out most to me is their certified recovery specialists. They connect you with people who have lived experiences in addiction and recovery. A peer support specialist can offer an empathetic outlook on your situation and offer assistance with challenges.
I also like that they provide free Narcan and training. Harm reduction can be an essential part of recovery for many. You’ll have access to support safer use, and if you decide to seek treatment, they can connect you with a facility that fits your situation. Their team also helps you navigate social services to find assistance with basic needs.
