Recovery Support

Support services empower individuals through education on substance use disorder, creating teams that work towards maintain a common goal (attending treatment, maintaining sobriety, etc.), and improving public understanding of substance use disorder and recovery to work toward eliminating stigma and discrimination faced by those with substance use disorders. The Dauphin SCA also subcontracts with local entities for emergency housing services. Those who receive funding for these services are required to obtain a licensed treatment evaluation and follow through with the recommendations. 

Certified Recovery Support 

A Certified Recovery Specialist provides insight based on personal, lived experiences of their own, into the recovery process to individuals in active addiction, early recovery, or long-term recovery.  Certified Recovery Specialists can relate to individuals in recovery and share a different perspective as facing similar life experiences. Recovery Specialists are available as role models representing someone in recovery; mentors in assisting those seeking recovery support; and advocates for individuals with substance use disorders, services, and in fighting stigma while eliminating barriers to recovery.
