How they approach the work

Named approaches extracted from this org’s sources. Where others share an approach, follow it to see the full set of orgs running it.

  • Community Integration and Belonging in Recovery
    methodology: community_based_recovery_support
    By creating community-based social events co-planned with participants, the organization fosters connection and belonging, which supports sustained recovery because social isolation is a known risk factor and community engagement reinforces identity beyond addiction.
  • Harm Reduction Through Overdose Prevention and Safe Disposal
    methodology: harm_reduction
    By distributing naloxone and promoting safe at-home disposal of unused medications via drug deactivation systems, the organization reduces opioid-related harm and prevents accidental ingestion because these interventions remove or neutralize immediate physical risks associated with substance availability.
  • Peer-Led Recovery Support
    methodology: peer_recovery_support
    By using certified peer advocates who share lived experience, the organization increases accessibility and relatability in recovery services, which enhances engagement and sustained recovery outcomes because individuals feel understood and supported by those with shared experiences.
  • Risk and Protective Factor Framework in Prevention
    methodology: risk_and_protective_factor_model
    By targeting modifiable risk factors and strengthening protective factors before substance use disorders develop, the organization reduces the likelihood of behavioral health issues because early intervention disrupts developmental pathways to addiction.
  • Strength-Based and Multiple Pathways to Recovery
    methodology: strength_based_recovery_coaching
    By affirming multiple recovery pathways and using strength-based coaching that centers personal values, goals, and resilience, the organization empowers individuals to lead their own recovery, increasing ownership and long-term success because it respects autonomy and builds on existing internal resources.
