What are Recovery Community Centers?

People new to recovery often live in environments filled with opportunities for relapse. Many go to Recovery Community Centers because they recognize that their new lifestyle, free from drugs and alcohol, is not compatible with their old friends or living arrangements. In these settings, individuals are offered hope in a safe environment. Positive outcomes come from providing this type of environment to people in early recovery. Community centers offer opportunities to learn interviewing and computer skills, and work on interpersonal relationships.
