PAR-People Advocating Recovery

PAR is an organization working to eliminate barriers to recovery from substance use disorders

We work to support and provide mentorship for the development of new recovery community organizations. We work alongside state agencies, people in recovery, and other stake holders to ensure gaps are filled and needs are being met across the recovery continuum. PAR draws from research that has been conducted at the federal level to inform and create curriculums and implementation procedures for organizations, agencies, and other stakeholders wishing to create more spaces for recovery equity in their practices. We work to support the needs of the community by elevating voices with lived experience. We train, support and cultivate grassroots advocates to use their voice and share the reality- that recovery is thriving in Kentucky.

MYTH BUSTING!

There are a lot of misconceptions about substance use disorder, and those myths can create stigma that prevents people from seeking help.

Substance Use Disorder is not a choice, but recovery is. Treatment works, and recovery is possible.

Let’s challenge the stigma and spread the facts. Education saves lives.

Follow along as we continue to bust common myths and share real information about recovery.
