ROME — The Rome Health Community Recovery Center (CRC) recently returned to its original location at 264 W. Dominick St. in Rome, not far from the Capitol Theater.
The center opened to the public starting Feb. 10.
The Rome Health Community Recovery Center offers outpatient services for individuals struggling with substance-use disorders. These services include individual and group counseling, same-day evaluations, medication-assisted treatment, family services, and adolescent programs.
Last July 16, a powerful tornado struck the Rome area, causing widespread destruction to businesses, homes, and other structures. CRC’s building was also severely damaged by the storm.
“We immediately assessed the building after the tornado passed,” Danielle Russell, director of the Rome Health CRC, said in a release. “The damage was extensive throughout the entire structure. While I was certainly concerned about the condition of the building, my primary focus was how we would continue to serve our clients. I didn’t want to turn anyone away who relied on our services.”
Russell highlighted that the leadership team at Rome Health acted quickly to find a temporary solution. After salvaging what they could from the damaged structure, CRC moved its operations to a temporary office space at Chestnut Commons. “Within no time, we had phones, computers, and a full staff in place, ready to continue providing the care and support our clients depend on,” she added.
Over a period of several months, Rome Health’s Plant Operations staff, alongside contractors, worked to repair and restore what was damaged at the West Dominick Street location. CRC closed its temporary office at Chestnut Commons on Feb. 7 to facilitate the move back to its original site, which officially reopened three days later.
