USARA is a nonprofit 501 (c) (3) organization and our mission is to support individuals and their families in all stages of recovery from alcohol and other drug problems. We work hard to identify and advocate for needed services related to substance misuse, infuse hope, and increase public awareness that long-term recovery is a reality.Why do we do what we do? Our goal is to reduce barriers and the stigma surrounding addiction that people in recovery face every day. We strongly believe that every RECOVERY VOICE COUNTS and anyone related to the recovery community can be an advocate for change. Together we can create a positive conversation around addiction and recovery throughout the state of Utah.We envision a day when public and private policies have been implemented at the local, state, and federal levels to help individuals and families get the help they need to recover, including access to effective care including health and wellness, treatment, peer support and other recovery services. Through advocacy, we can change policies that discriminate against people in or seeking recovery. Our focus is on the "solution" that involves mobilizing individual and community resources to promote recovery, not specific to clinical services or model of care. One of the founding principles of USARA is that we embrace all pathways to recovery. This principle is embodied in our leaders, volunteers, staff, policies and programs.
