From Faces & Voices of Recovery

“Recovery” from addiction to alcohol and other drugs is a human experience as old as the human race itself.

It was not until the past decade that federal agencies, policy makers, service providers, and clinicians have begun considering recovery as a desirable outcome that is gradually supplanting mere reductions in drug and alcohol use as the goal of addiction treatment services.

Testimonials

What are people saying about PAR?

Mike (Barry) facilitated his messaging seminar in Georgetown on May 19 for the GRACE project-Guiding Recovery and Community Education. What an impact his message had for me. I will shift to recovery language and continue to advocate for community involvement and recovery solutions.
