The Counseling & Assessment Clinic announced that it is launching a new website that is aimed at connecting Worcester residents with substance abuse services available in the city.

The site also includes testimonials from residents in recovery, providers, and loved ones and up to date news, facts, and statistics about substance use in Worcester.

The site aims to serve as a clearinghouse for resources for those suffering from and loved ones affected by substance use and addiction, said the announcement.

CAC is located at 51 Union St. in Worcester.

Bridgette L. Hylton, assistant director of CAC and project lead for Substance Free Worcester said, “We’ve spoken to many individuals currently in recovery and they have told us that finding the tools for recovery in Worcester can often feel overwhelming. A simple internet search often leads to little concrete information about help available in our community. Our vision is to give community members more control over the road to recovery right from that very first step.”
