To support long-term recovery for people with chemical addiction and dual disorders by partnering with communities to provide volunteer peer supported recovery programs and services.Our 145+ Peer Support Volunteers share the message of recovery with others in the earliest stages of recovery by providing a bridge between professional treatment and long-term recovery through our programs and services that include "Back to Basics", "Dual Disorders Recovery Achievers", "Cross-Talk", "Family Cross-Talk", "Recovery Coaching", and "Tele/Video Recovery Support".We focus our efforts on the newcomers or renewcomers, be they current patients, former patients or those from the general public, who come to Communities for Recovery for relief from the disease of chemical addiction and dual disorders. Our primary objective is to link the newcomers and/or patients with our Peer Support Volunteers before they discharge from professional treatment. Our Peer Support Volunteers provide the clients with tools to use in transitioning from "inside" the treatment environment to "outside," into the everyday activities of life.We work specifically with people suffering from alcoholism, chemical addiction and with those who have both a chemical addiction and a mental disorder (dual diagnosis).
