New addiction support center helps people achieve long-term recovery
The Taunton Peer Recovery Support Center, which opened in mid-May, offers support and services for people either on the road to or trying to sustain recovery from addiction.

Located at 1 Washington St. in Taunton, around the corner from WOW! Work Out World and Lavender Laundromat, the Peer Recovery Support Center follows a loose but compassionate approach to mitigating relapses and helping people achieve long-term recovery.
