I had a Dream…
In 2018, we started out as a simple social media recovery Facebook page that was created to inspire hope to those in recovery from substance use and mental health disorders, and we grew to over a quarter million followers. We
believed we had a greater purpose so in 2020 we registered as a 501c3,
Recovery-Revolution.Org and officially became a RCO (Recovery Community Organization) with the mission to help guide others thru a variety of programs from early recovery to sustainable, long-term recovery. We offer sober living
scholarships, treatment scholarships, peer support, education, recovery advocacy and we also support our local treatment courts.
Join the Recovery Revolution and help us change the way the world see’s us. Give up the high cost of low living and join our way of life.
Join Our Revolution!
Recovery is Available to Anyone!
