About this organization
Mission
The mission of The Council on Recovery is to keep our community healthy, productive and safe by providing services and information to all who may be adversely affected by alcohol, drugs and related issues. The vision of The Council On Recovery is a community in which substance abuse is no longer a major community problem; all people who experience alcohol, drug or related problems have access to effective, affordable services that address their needs; and that individuals and organizations find the freedom from the shame and stigma currently attached to substance abuse.
About
Risk Reduction: Risk Reduction services are provided through three major activities: Education, Counseling and Case Management. Our education services include community workshops and professional education events as well as several evidence-based curricula programs offered in schools, community centers, probation offices, and other places people show up who may be interested in or struggling with substance use issues. The long-term objective of our education activities is to help prevent future generations from experiencing the devastation that comes with this disease. Counseling and case management services are offered to those clients who are living with or negatively impacted by someone else's substance use; or to those individuals who themselves are using substances and whose use has begun to cause harm in their lives. Counseling and case management activities are more intensive and individualized than most of our education activities and are interventions used with clients before the person's use has become chronic addiction. Case management services link clients to various community resources that may help reduce or eliminate stressors that may be causing them to turn to substances. Counseling, while not geared to examine inter-psychic struggles like therapy and treatment, is used to help clients begin to talk through their struggles and to develop coping skills for the various environmental and social issues they may be experiencing which are contributing to their use of substances.We provided risk reduction services to over 73,000 people in 2018. 51,898 were children under 18 years of age and 21,102 were adults over the age of 18.
