Making a Difference
Addiction is everyone’s problem….
We provide solutions
• Easy Does It, Inc. [ “EDI”] was founded in 1989 when members of the Berks County recovering community saw a need for a permanent place where people could meet to reclaim their lives from the bondage of addiction.
• EDI operates two facilities in Berks County. The original Easy Does It Clubhouse, now the Walnut street Recovery Community Center, is located at 647 Walnut Street, Reading, PA.
