Recovery Support Services (RSS)



A process of change through which individuals improve their health and wellness, live a self-directed life, and strive to reach their full potential.
– SAMHSA

RSS assists people who have a strong desire to grow in their own substance use recovery. Peer Recovery Coaches provide long-term supoprt, advocacy, mentoring, education, and assertive outreach to enhance recovery outcomes for participants. Goals in the recovery plan are not defined by staff but are set by the peer with a focus on building recovery capital in order to achieve the quality of life in recovery they have self-defined. RSS also provides "reach-in" supports while individuals are incarcerated to assist them in successfully re-entering the community after incarceration.
