About Us
THRIVE is Transformation, Healing, Recovery, Inspiration, Validation and Empowerment
Thrive Suffolk opened in March 2017 as Long Island’s first recovery community and outreach center. This free and non-clinical center opened in response to the heroin and opioid epidemic sweeping across the country. Due to the success of Thrive Suffolk and the continued need for services and support in our communities, Thrive Nassau was opened in June 2019.
