What is a Recovery Community Center?
Published May 8, 2008
A Recovery Community Center is a resource for skill-building education, information, support, and socialization for those in Recovery and their loved ones. It is meant to authenticate that recovery from the disease of addiction is possible. The basis of services and programming available through a Recovery Community Center are Peer Recovery Support Services (PRSS). These are non-clinical services that focus on removing barriers and providing invaluable resources to those who are seeking to achieve and maintain long- term recovery.
Peer Driven and Peer Delivered Support Services are fueled by the energy of volunteers who seek to share their experience and knowledge with others. The support offered is not meant to replace treatment or 12 Step support. PRSS acknowledge multiple pathways to Recovery. A Recovery Community Center promotes improving quality of life, preventing relapse, and sustaining recovery. It is not a clubhouse or place to just “hang out”. It is a place where life’s challenges are faced with solutions and guidance. It is a place where skills are shared and learned. It is a place where isolation becomes inclusion and strangers become friends.
