Recovery Support

We work with agencies and jurisdictions to enhance the coordination of recovery support services. We take a holistic view by promoting recovery, resilience, and wellness for individuals with mental and substance use disorders. We help jurisdictions develop policies and practices to enhance treatment and develop systems to provide basic needs to people in recovery, including housing, employment, health literacy, education, wellness, transportation, and childcare. Our work promotes the integration of individuals with lived experience, person-centered recovery planning, and trauma-informed care.
