Building a stronger community: The power of support in recovery.

Recovery from substance use can be a challenging journey, but there are many community organizations in our community that help to contribute towards the support systems necessary for lasting change. They provide much needed resources, connections, and a sense of belonging to individuals and families navigating the recovery process.

How community-based organizations can help

These organizations can play a vital role in supporting individuals and their loved ones through recovery. Many provide access to resources such as counseling, workshops, or support groups. And some can even help with employment services and housing assistance.

Find support or get involved

Whether you’re seeking help for yourself or a loved one, or want to donate your own time or resources, local organizations are a great place to start. To help, we’ve put together a list of community resources. Recovery is a community effort and no one has to go through it alone. By working together, we can create an environment where hope and healing thrive.
