What is a Recovery Community Center (RCC)?
- RCCs are peer-operated centers that serve as local resources of community-based recovery support. People do not live at these centers, but rather these resources can help individuals build recovery capital at the community level by providing advocacy training, recovery information and resource mobilization, mutual-help or peer-support support meetings, social activities, and other community-based service
- Like most mutual-help organizations, volunteering at RCCs is highly encouraged for people in recovery as a way of giving back and helping others
- RCCs help facilitate supportive relationships among individuals in recovery, as well as community and family members. In turn, this increases recovery and helps individuals initiate and sustain recovery long-term
- RCCs play a unique role in building on professional services and mutual-help organizations by connecting recovering individuals to social services, employment and skills training, and educational agencies
