The Courage Center provides a safe, supportive setting for individuals and families making their journey to recovery from substance misuse and substance use disorders. Through the lived experience of others, we help individuals and families improve their health and wellness, live self-directed lives, and strive to reach their full potential.
The new facility will offer a range of no cost services, including peer support, counseling, mutual aid meetings, and educational resources. The Courage Center’s mission is to provide a safe, supportive, recovery-focused setting for youth, adults, and their families on their recovery journey from substance use and substance use disorders.
The new location will be staffed by certified peer support specialists and professionals who are dedicated to helping individuals achieve and sustain long-term recovery. In addition to one-on-one coaching and support, the facility will also connect individuals to medication assisted treatment, harm reduction supplies, and help families connect to vital resources in the community to encourage healthier lifestyles.
