WARREN First Step Recovery, a drug and alcohol addiction treatment facility, has acquired Parkman Recovery Center, which provides similar services, after already having a close relationship since opening in 2018.
The acquisition, said First Step and Parkman Recovery CEO Cindy Woodford, provides patients a greater continuum of care, from detox to outpatient, and includes services available at affiliate Travco Behavioral Health.
“Although First Step Recovery has always had a close working relationship with Parkman Recovery Center, the acquisition allows us to collaborate more synergistically and gives us the opportunity to expand our programming and create a flexible continuum of care,” Woodford said. “We will continue to respond to the evolving needs existing within our special field of addiction treatment.”
