Looking for recovery resources? Curious about the process for becoming a Peer Recovery Support professional? Need training on ways to address stigma in your community? A Recovery Community Organization is the perfect place to reach out to for answers!
A Recovery Community Organization (RCO) is a nonprofit organization founded and led by people with direct lived experience with substance use challenges and recovery. RCOs promote public education, peer-based and other recovery support services, and advocate for fair and equitable laws and policies for people in recovery. RCOs also provide peer recovery support training for certification and serve as key employers of peer recovery support professionals.
This RCO directory is organized by the 10 regions defined by the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services. Simply click on your region of interest to be taken to a listing RCOs by state.

**Please note that this directory is for informational purposes only and serves as a community resource for highlighting recovery-oriented, peer-ran organizations that meet the broadest definition of an RCO. This may or may not align with how your state defines an RCO. The PR CoE is not a credentialing body and does not maintain the authority to determine if an organization is or is not an RCO, especially for the purposes of accessing state or federal funding.
