NOW ENROLLING – 2026 PEER SUPPORT & RECOVERY MENTOR TRAINING 📣

For over 15 years, I have had the honor of collaborating with local organizations and advocating for peer-delivered recovery services. It has been incredibly exciting to watch this once-emerging approach to addiction recovery grow, mature, and continue to expand across our communities.

At the ROC, we offer far more than a workbook. Our trainings are hands-on, interactive, and experiential, built around role-playing, real-world scenarios, and practical modules designed to teach effective communication and connection. In recovery, it’s not just about information—it’s about relationship. Learning how to connect, build trust, and come alongside someone with empathy, support, and preventive care is foundational to lasting change.

Whether your goal is to work professionally in adult addiction services or to simply deepen your understanding and skill set, this training stands apart. It is, without hesitation, among the best in the state.

Today, what thrills my heart the most is seeing former students—those trained right here at the ROC—using their own stories of recovery, their God-given gifts, and their lived experience to help someone else find hope.

That is the very definition of a coach:
“To take a valued person from where they are to where they want to be.”

If you’ve ever felt a pull toward helping others find hope, healing, and a new way forward—this may be your next step.

We’re excited to announce our 2026 CCAR Recovery Coach Academy – Peer Support Specialist (PSS) & Certified Recovery Mentor (CRM) Training, hosted once again by ROC Recovery Center in Medford!

Tonight at 530pm @ the ROC

You’re not alone—and you don’t have to figure this out by yourself.

If you are a parent, spouse, or family member who loves someone struggling with addiction, we want to invite you to a very special evening of truth, hope, and practical support at the ROC.

This Let’s Talk Recovery – RISE Addiction Support Group is designed specifically for families who are asking hard questions like:

* Am I helping… or enabling?
* What boundaries are healthy?
* What should I say—and what should I stop saying?
* How do I love them without losing myself?

This evening will feature three guest speakers who will openly share their personal recovery journeys—including what it was like to manipulate, resist help, and struggle within their own families. They’ll also talk honestly about what finally helped them say yes to recovery.

After sharing, our speakers will take part in a live Q&A, giving parents and loved ones the opportunity to ask real questions in a safe, judgment-free space.

This is not a lecture.
This is not about blame.
This is about truth, wisdom, and hope.

Whether your loved one is in active addiction, early recovery, or somewhere in between—this night is for you.

💙 You are not alone. There is hope.
Come learn, connect, and be encouraged as we walk this journey together.

📍 ROC Recovery Center – 305 S. Fir St., Medford

We truly hope you’ll join us.

🔥 Special Shout-Out & Huge THANK YOU! 🔥

We want to give a massive shout-out to Skyler and the incredible crew at LLAD Concrete Cutting & Coring for coming out and doing some outstanding concrete work at the ROC Recovery Center—specifically improving the area by our back door.

Because of their work, we’re now able to increase our capacity even more, which means serving more individuals and families in recovery right here in our community. 🙌

This crew was truly next-level—professional, courteous, efficient, and incredibly clean and organized throughout the entire process. But what really blew us away was their heart: LLAD generously donated their time and materials as a way of saying thank you for the work we do with those struggling with addiction and compulsive behaviors.

That kind of generosity and community support is rare—and deeply appreciated. 💙

If you’re looking for a company you can trust for concrete cutting, coring, grinding, or polishing, we can’t recommend LLAD highly enough. Amazing work. Amazing people. Amazing hearts.

Thank you, Skyler and the entire LLAD team—you are truly making a difference in Southern Oregon! 👏👏👏

We are incredibly honored and grateful.

Last Thursday morning, the Medford Chamber of Commerce recognized ROC Recovery Center as Greeter of the Month for January, and I am deeply thankful for this acknowledgment—not just for me, but for all of us who make this work possible.

This recognition belongs to our amazing staff, our faithful donors and partners, and especially to the families and clients we serve every day. You are the reason ROC exists.

At The ROC, we do more than clock in hours. We show up to advocate for families, to bring healing to the brokenhearted, to walk alongside those who feel forgotten, and to help set captives free and restore hope.

Recovery is not just about sobriety—it’s about restoration, dignity, community, and believing that change is possible….

I was especially moved by how the Chamber introduced this recognition, sharing not just a title, but a story—a reminder that transformation, resilience, and faith can turn even our hardest chapters into something that brings the love of God to others.

Thank you, Medford Chamber of Commerce, for supporting local nonprofits and for believing in the mission of ROC Recovery Center. We are grateful to serve this community and to walk this journey together.

This honor is shared.
This work is collective.
And the lives we touch…their story is still being written.

Michelle’s Message at South Medford High School

💙 “It was only half a pill…”

We at the ROC Recovery Center had an incredible time presenting Michelle’s Message to two classes at South Medford High School 🐾💙. The students were attentive, engaged, and willing to lean into a conversation that truly matters.

Our guest speakers Courtney, Steven, and Suzanne did an amazing job sharing their experience, strength, and hope. Their honesty and transparency brought real-life impact to the classroom—reminding students that addiction doesn’t start with an intention to lose control, but often with a single choice.

Michelle’s story is a powerful reminder. For her, it began with “only half a pill.”
Michelle’s Message lovingly challenges teens to pause and consider the cost of going down the road of drugs and alcohol.

💡 Top reasons teens experiment with drugs & alcohol:
1️⃣ Curiosity
2️⃣ Social acceptance & peer pressure
3️⃣ Pain, trauma, or emotional stress
4️⃣ Low self-esteem or identity struggles
5️⃣ Addiction or substance use within the home

Michelle’s Message teaches that the progression from experimentation to dependence happens faster in teens than in adults. When combined with the real and raw stories of recovery, the message lands with truth, compassion, and hope.

🙏 Special thank you to:
• Teacher Sam Howell
• Amy & Jim Winans with Impact Athletics
• Our amazing ROC donors who make school outreach possible
• And most importantly, in memory of Michelle Lynn Anderson-Davis

Although we miss Michelle deeply, her greatest desire was to share her story so others might be spared. Through this message, her voice still speaks—and lives are still being impacted.

If you’d like to help us continue bringing Michelle’s Message to schools across Southern Oregon, please consider supporting this life-saving program:

If your would like the ROC to visit your school, church or business feel free to contact us at 541-200-3000.

Together, we can bring hope to our youth—and save lives. 💙

💙 ROC & CR FAMILY CELEBRATION! 💙

The ROC & CR is so incredibly proud of our dear friend Bekke for celebrating 19 MONTHS clean and sober from alcohol! 🙌🎉

Bekke, your smile says it all—hope, freedom, and the courage it takes to choose recovery one day at a time. Your journey is a powerful reminder that change is possible, healing is real, and freedom is worth fighting for.

Thank you for showing others that sobriety isn’t just about what we leave behind, but about the life, joy, and purpose we gain. Your story encourages more people than you’ll ever know.

Way to go, Bekke—we celebrate you today! 💪✨
Keep shining. Keep walking it out. ROC ON! 🪨❤️

Which voices are you listening to?

In Numbers 13, Moses sent twelve spies to check out the Promised Land.
Ten came back speaking fear:

“We can’t take it. There are giants in the land.”

But two—Joshua and Caleb—spoke faith:

“The land is good. God will give it to us.”

Same land. Same facts. Different voices.

It reminds us that your circle matters—and so does the voice you choose to believe.

In recovery, many of us are still listening to old voices:

voices of pain and trauma
voices of shame and accusation
voices that say, “You’ll never change” or “You’re not strong enough”
Those voices magnify the giants.

God’s voice magnifies hope, healing, and promise.

It may be time to stop listening to what held you back
and start listening to what God has in store for you.

👉 Choose faith over fear.
👉 Choose truth over trauma.
👉 Choose voices that agree with God—not the ones that keep you stuck.

The Promised Land is still ahead.

🚗🥜🍓 WIPE OUT HUNGER – Community Coming Together! 🍓🥜🚗

We’re excited to support Wipe Out Hunger, a great community effort benefiting The Salvation Army and The ROC Food Pantry in Grants Pass (separate from ROC Recovery Center). While not affiliated with ROC Recovery Center, we are proud to partner alongside our friends to help wipe out hunger in our region.

Here’s how easy it is to help:

👉 Stop by your local store
👉 Grab one jar of peanut butter (40 oz) and one jar of jelly (12 oz)
👉 Take them down to Kelly’s Automotive Service
👉 See Lisa, Dave, Gregg, and the gang
👉 And receive a FREE pair of standard windshield wipers installed (up to a $45 value!)

If your vehicle needs specialty blades that cost a little more, no problem—Kelly’s will apply the $45 credit toward your replacement. That’s it. Simple as that.

I’ll tell you how easy it was for me—I stopped at Food 4 Less, grabbed a cart, went down the first aisle, about halfway, and on the right-hand side there’s a display with the Wipe Out Hunger flyers. In and out. Done. ✔️

A huge thank you to our friends at:
🙏 The Salvation Army
🚗 Kelly’s Automotive Service
🥪 The ROC Food Pantry (Grants Pass)

Let’s rally together, support our local food pantries, and help families in need—one jar at a time.

And as always… Kelly’s Automotive—where they service your vehicles, but take care of YOU. ❤️

Let’s do this, community! 👏👏
