Here you can enjoy a fun night out with likeminded people away from the pressures of drugs and alcohol. The large indoor space offers the perfect setting for a variety of gatherings. You can relax with friends at our bar, which has plenty of seating, televisions, and a variety of nonalcoholic beverages, including our signature cold-brew coffee. We also have private rooms for support meetings and a stage for live comedy and music shows. The Other Side is the longest-running program of New Directions Addiction Recovery Services. Our location is easily accessible by both bus and train. You can stop by today or view our upcoming events on our website.
