A peer recovery support center is a peer-to-peer safe place for those seeking tools and resources to help with their addictions, both substance and behavioral.
It is a place that encourages and supports all paths of recovery and aims to further recovery growth, make new connections, rebuild trust, and build recovery capital or "global health" - emotional, mental, professional, environmental, spiritual, social and physical well-being.
It is a resource broker and waystation for those trying to establish a meaningful new way of life. It also aims to break the stigma of substance use disorder in the community.
We've birthed a website with a little help from our friends!
We have openings for the following positions:

Each time a member volunteers, they bank a fixed amount of Red House Rewards points which they can use to gain access to "big ticket" events like kayak tours, cold plunge/infrared sauna, etc.
