A Place to Recover. A Place to Belong. A Place to Begin Again.
The Thruway Recovery Stop is a safe, welcoming, alcohol and drug-free community center in Herkimer, NY, providing recovery meetings, fellowship, support and hope.
You Are Not Alone
Addiction doesn't affect just one person. It affects an entire family.
- A mother worried about her son.
- A husband praying for his wife.
- A parent wondering how to help their child.
- A friend hoping someone they love will find recovery.
Alcohol and drug addiction touches all of us.
And recovery needs a place to happen.
That place is the Thruway Recovery Stop.
We provide a safe and welcoming home for Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous, Gamblers Anonymous and other 12-step programs.
TRS serves hundreds of people each month.
Each month, hundreds of people find meetings, fellowship, encouragement and another reason to keep going.
More Than a Meeting Place
Recovery is about more than sitting in a meeting room.
It's about connection.
It's about finding people who understand.
It's about having somewhere to go when you need support.
Community
We host special events throughout the year that bring people together for food, fellowship and encouragement.

If you're looking for recovery, support or fellowship, you've found the place where you're welcome.
- You don't have to be perfect.
- You don't have to know anyone.
- You don't have to have everything figured out.
- You simply have to walk through the door.
Our facility provides space for independent 12-step groups to meet in a safe, welcoming and non-judgmental environment.
What Your Support Has Accomplished
The Thruway Recovery Stop is growing, and with the help of our community, so is our ability to serve.
- Completed a handicap-accessible restroom on the main floor
- Relocated a staircase to make accessibility possible
- Added a coffee bar with running water
- A chairlift has been purchased, and installation work is underway. The lift will be operational November 1st.
These aren't simply building improvements. They open doors, literally and figuratively, to people who might otherwise be unable to participate.
And we're not finished.

Donate NowRecovery Changes More Than One Life
You may never attend a recovery meeting at TRS. You may never need our services.
But chances are, someone you love has been touched by alcohol or drug addiction.
- A son.
- A daughter.
- A spouse.
- A parent.
- A brother or sister.
- A friend.
Addiction may affect one person, but its impact reaches far beyond them. Recovery does too.
Every person who walks through our doors represents a story. A struggle. A family. A second chance.
Help us make sure that when someone reaches out for help, there is a place waiting for them.
A place to recover. A place to belong. A place to begin again.
