What is an RCO?
Recovery Community Organizations (RCOs) are independent, nonprofit organizations led and governed by individuals in recovery. While each RCO tailors its mission to address the unique needs of its local community, they all share three core purposes:
Education & Training
Recovery Support
Advocacy & Activism
In recent years, RCOs have been forming across the country and throughout our state, bringing to light the inspiring stories of recovery happening in our neighborhoods. This growing movement is uniting communities and strengthening efforts to support those on their journey to wellness. Together, we are creating a brighter future by championing recovery and the transformative power of hope
