About Passages to Recovery
Our Approach
At Passages to Recovery, we deliver person-centered recovery services for individuals experiencing substance use disorders, with a focus on the full picture of healing. Our care addresses not only substance use, but also the underlying impacts of trauma, mental health challenges, and family dynamics. By honoring each person’s unique story, we support lasting, meaningful recovery.
Our Roots
Since 1976, PtR has been a leader in developing community-based services for individuals impacted by the criminal justice system in Allegheny County. Our work began with a vision for change—and it continues today with a deepened commitment to evidence-based, trauma-informed, and non-judgmental care.
We have walked alongside thousands of individuals facing chemical dependency, trauma, and the ripple effects of incarceration. Our success lies in our holistic approach and ongoing support through every stage of the recovery journey.
Our Vision
We envision a world where people facing substance use disorders—and their loved ones—can find support, recover with dignity, and live free from stigma. At PtR, we strive to normalize conversations around substance use, justice involvement, and mental health, creating a culture of inclusion and hope.
