Connecting & Supporting Recovery Communities

Because lasting change happens when recovery isn’t siloed.

OUR BELIEF

We do this work because we believe that recovery thrives in connected communities, and lasting change happens when recovery isn’t siloed.

OUR MISSION

To connect and support recovery communities.

OUR VISION

People, resources, and organizations are working together so that recovery is within reach for all.

HOW THE ALLIANCE FORMED

Connecting Recovery Communities

To unite recovery communities, we offer a series of statewide and community-specific events, coalitions and task forces. We then publish our shared solutions – so everyone can reap the benefits of our work.
