What is The
RECOVER Project?
The RECOVER Project is a community open to all concerned
with alcohol and drug addiction. We exist to foster
recovery and empower individuals, families, and the
communities of Franklin County.
We provide peer-to-peer support based on the guiding
principles that people can and do recover from
alcohol and drug addiction and that competence and
wisdom reside in those with lived experience.
Our peer-developed
Code of
Ethics is at the heart of our work.
Our Code of Ethics
is a set
of guidelines that informs how we
interact and relate at the RECOVER Project.
It also informs decisions
about
our programs and policies.
Our core values are:
Safety, Respect, Acceptance, Compassion
We are
peer-to-peer and participatory!
What is a
“peer”?
Peers define themselves in a broad sense as people with
lived experience with addiction recovery, families, and
concerned others.
****
What is
"participatory"?
The participatory model is the inverse of traditional
hierarchical organizational structures. It means having
a process or system to ensure that the voices of
peers are heard and respected and that people in
recovery are involved at all levels of decision
making about program, policy, and strategic
planning.
Peer facilitated Community Meetings are at the
center of the participatory process, creating a forum
for information and feedback, new program ideas,
decision making, and policy development.
Join us for a Community Meeting every other Thursday
at 1:30pm!
