RAI would like to invite you to attend our upcoming Summit event “How to Build Recovery Communities” on Sept 11-12, 2025 @ at the Hilton North Hills in Raleigh, NC.

BECOME A SPONSOR

We believe recovery thrives in connected communities, and lasting change happens when recovery isn’t siloed. So we commit every day to connect and support recovery communities. We will continue to do so until all people, resources, and organizations are working together so that recovery is within reach for all.

RAI is dedicated to ensuring our events remain accessible to everyone who wishes to attend. We rely on exhibitors, sponsors, and supporters like you to make this possible.
