Services to support your unique and personal recovery needs
The services offered at RCPC will address the individual as a whole and their unique and personal needs. The same recovery process does not work for everyone, and it is important to be open and understanding while walking someone through what is and is not going to work for them. Peer support is a non-judgmental service that allows individuals to make their own choices without fear of ridicule.
Programs and Supports Offered at RCPC
HOUSING PEER SUPPORT
Many individuals may feel ready and open to transitioning into recovery-focused community living. RCPC collaborates with Oxford Inc. and similar housing organizations in the area to ensure individuals prepared for this transition have the support they need to attend interviews and secure a place in these homes. While RCPC does not directly pay for housing, we work closely with outside agencies to navigate and secure funding options. Additionally, housing needs can vary based on each individual’s unique lived experiences, requiring tailored solutions to address these diverse challenges.
- Transition out of houselessness with the guidance and encouragement of recovery peer support.
- Transition into and out of sheltered settings supported by recovery peers who understand the challenges and opportunities of these changes.
- Support in recovery-based housing options through peer-led navigation and advocacy.

ACCESS TO MEDICAL

This is largely due to their lack of health insurance or a drop in coverage. The RCPC will aid in connecting individuals to the right medical coverage. Assist in helping individuals seek primary care providers. Peer Mentors will track and transport individuals to their doctor’s appointment. For individuals who suffer from medical related traumas, peer mentors can be a support during doctors’ visits.

PEER CENTER
This is more of an environment than a service. Our people do not know what to do with their free time when they are first in recovery. None of the places where they see the most people in recovery have an environment where they can just be. Hang out drink coffee and seek alternatives to using habits. The drop in environment provides this atmosphere to individuals seeking recovery. Where they can be with people who understand them and support them in their personalized journey. The drop in environment also provides others in recovery to share their self-care and recovery practices by opening the center to peer run classes and activities to help individuals new tin recovery develop new hobbies and habits.
