Each day in recovery is a step in the right direction

Recovery Advocates of America

MISSION STATEMENT

Recovery Advocates of America is a 501C3 not for profit peer-based recovery program providing direct outreach, harm reduction, and substance use interventions and navigation to resources for the treatment of substance use disorders (SUD). Our mission is to educate our community about SUD and reduce the stigma towards it, provide compassionate and professional treatment placement for those afflicted by SUD, and offer experienced aftercare support that leads to sustainable recovery from SUD. These disorders cause damage and trauma, not just in the substance user, but also in the lives of their loved ones. We provide tools and resources for the friends and family to begin their healing process and support a healthy living environment post treatment. Our goal is to make treatment services for SUD accessible to all and to provide a platform and network for those who strive for recovery to achieve it.

Testimonials

Thank you so much Stacey and Recovery Advocates of America for your generous sober living funding donation. I'm settling into my new home right now and I'm so grateful to be here. 7 months ago I had no hope and wanted to end my life. I lost faith in myself and my fellow man. Today my life is full of meaning and purpose. In no small part because of people like you, Dave, Matt, and all the Wednesday night crew that have been put in my life to guide me on a path of selflessness, service, and compassion. Your commitment and wisdom has really inspired me and this gift will help me grow and flourish until I am in a position where I can "pay it forward". With love and gratitude

During this horrible, scary life time, parents need to unfortunately navigate, there are so many scams out there. Recovery Advocates are not one of them. We come to a point where we are skeptical of everyone and everything. We have become tainted and bitter and untrustworthy. We don't like the people we have become. We don't like the life we are forced to now be part of with our addicted loved one. When I found Recovery Advocates (New Jersey) I definitely was skeptical. They hung in there with me. They understood. They, didn't waiver in their presence, and they helped and Recovery Advocates helped, and helped!

These people are life savers, they've made me feel like recovery is possible for the first time in almost 8 years, I feel safe, happy & hopeful for the first time in my life. I know & feel the outstanding love & support they bring. I'm no longer afraid, I'm no longer filled with doubt, I'm not overwhelmed by the decisions I will soon be making for my recovery. All because of this incredibly excellent organization. They go above & beyond. They not only jump through the flaming hoops with you, they fly with you on their backs!! lol!! i don't know one person who hasn't been affected by addiction and if you or anyone you know wants help but can't break the vicious cycle of addiction the recovery advocates will be there for you, every step of the way. you will never be alone or feel lost as long as you stay with them. They're no bullshit, aggressive, & by any means necessary approach to get you what you want & where you need to be is liberating & empowering. I got this, you got this, there no such thing as failure this time. Never give up.
