A Recovery Community Organization (RCO) is a non-profit entity that focuses on providing support, resources, and advocacy for individuals in recovery from addiction. These organizations are typically led by individuals in recovery themselves or those directly affected by addiction. RCOs play a vital role in fostering a supportive and empowering community for individuals seeking recovery by offering peer support, educational programs, counseling services, and access to essential resources. They work to reduce the stigma associated with addiction, promote awareness, and advocate for policies that support recovery and overall well-being. RCOs serve as a beacon of hope, guiding individuals towards a healthier, fulfilling, and substance-free life.
