Through the wisdom of lived experience Wilkes Recovery Revolution, Inc. is creating a community where recovery from addiction is possible through; Restoring Hope, Repairing Lives, and Rebuilding Community. Recovery from addiction and mental illness is not only possible, but with support, opportunities, community, and education, recovery for all can be a reality. Collaboration and partnerships  within a recovery community organization can produce more viable solutions for individuals which in return becomes a catalyst of social change and strength in communities. Individuals and providers benefit from the perspective and knowledge that can only be obtained from those with lived experience in recovery and by employing the evidence based practices of peer support.
