Comprehensive Recovery Support
The program’s foundation is the partnership between participants and Recovery Coaches from Riverside’s Connect2Recovery service. Recovery Coaches draw from their lived experience with addiction to provide encouragement, motivation, and non-judgmental support throughout the recovery journey. This peer-to-peer model creates authentic connections that reduce stigma and isolation while fostering hope and accountability. By offering practical guidance rooted in real-world experience rather than purely clinical expertise, Recovery Coaches serve as an essential complement to traditional treatment approaches.
A Personalized Path to Recovery
Each participant works with their Coach to develop a personalized Recovery Wellness Plan focusing on removing obstacles to their unique goals. To support these plans, NC-8 staff take a balanced approach to wellness that addresses multiple aspects of recovery.
Our Recovery Coaches connect participants with peer support groups, including Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous, and SMART Recovery. They also help people served access essential resources, including healthcare, housing assistance, and SNAP benefits. When individuals face legal or institutional challenges, Recovery Coaches provide guidance on navigating systems such as governmental services, drug court proceedings, and probation requirements.
Embark on the recovery journey with confidence, as a personalized Recovery Wellness Plan provides the structure, support, and strategies needed to forge a path toward lasting fulfillment.
