Recovery Community Organizations

Recovery Community Organizations (RCO) are created by individuals and/or families in recovery to provide supports and services that are often unmet within their communities while decreasing the feelings of isolation and shame often experienced by people and families in recovery. There are three core principles that RCOs encompass: recovery vision, authenticity of voice, and accountability to the recovery community. Majority of the board members (more than 50%) in an RCO must be in recovery.
