PROGRAM INFORMATION
Short Description
Recovery Support Services (RSS) are non-clinical recovery supports provided by individuals trained and certified to utilize their own personal lived experience in recovery from mental health and/or substance use challenges to support other individuals in their journey of recovery from substance use and/or mental health or other behavioral health challenges. These services are not just about offering and receiving help, but about doing so based on a shared understanding, respect, and mutual empowerment, making each individual feel valued and respected. RSS are provided by licensed treatment agencies and Recovery Community Organizations (RCOs), community-based organizations led by people in recovery to serve people in recovery.
