Recovery Café Network
Abstract
More people are dying of drug overdose today than died of AIDS at the height of that epidemic with more than 72,000 just in 2017. Prevention, treatment, and recovery are three legs of the same stool to reduce this epidemic. The third leg, especially communities of recovery support, provides hope to reverse this epidemic and help individuals build lives they are excited about living. Founded in 2004 in Seattle, the Recovery Café model is an effective way to deliver community-based recovery support that is different than other recovery centers or fellowship halls. Using a membership approach, this person-centered recovery-oriented system of care supports a person as they establish a healthy life and continues to provide the stability they need to thrive. Since 2016, the Recovery Café model has spread to 15 cities in seven states and D.C. with more groups working to bring this healing model to their communities.
