Private organizations, for-profits entering addiction recovery arena

COLUMBUS, Ind. — After opening less than a year ago, a for-profit addiction treatment center is already assisting about 100 local residents who are in recovery.

The treatment center called “Groups Recover Together” is just one of a growing number of options available to combat the opioid crisis in Columbus and Bartholomew County.

Often referred to simply as Groups, the treatment center has been operating at 1017 Third St., near the State Street bridge, since last spring, said clinical supervisor Angela McCallister.
