RCO Core Activities

Recovery Community Organizations (RCOs) carry out their mission through three core activity areas:

Policy and Advocacy

Elevate the voice of people in recovery
Advance recovery-focused policies and systems change

Recovery-Focused Community Education & Outreach

Promote a positive vision of recovery
Increase awareness, understanding, and connection in the community

Peer Recovery Support Services

Provide non-clinical, peer-based recovery supports
Center lived experience, mutual support, and long-term recovery

RCOs mobilize resources within and beyond the recovery community to increase the prevalence and quality of long-term recovery from substance use disorders for individuals and families.
