What is a Peer Recovery Center?
Substance use and co-occurring mental health concerns are not isolated problems. Often, challenges with housing, employment, general health, and social and family relationships coincide with a person seeking help and are fundamental aspects to address throughout the recovery process.
Dimensions of Recovery
SAMHSA defines recovery “as the process of change through which individuals improve their health & wellness, live self-directed lives and strive to reach their full potential. The Four Major Dimensions of Recovery are:
- Health: Making healthy choices that support physical and emotional well-being.
- Home: Finding a safe, stable place to live.
- Purpose: Taking part in meaningful activities such as a job, school, or volunteer work while becoming independent and able to support oneself.
- Community: Developing relationships that provide support, friendship, love and hope.
Peer Recovery Support
We are a group of people with lived recovery experience offering resources to the community free of charge in a diverse welcoming environment.
We offer one on one peer support.
A peer recovery coach is someone with lived experience who will walk alongside an individual on their recovery journey, helping to create a recovery plan directed by the individual themselves.
Whether by phone, virtually, or in person, we will meet you where you are at and support your recovery journey.
