Open Recovery

Open Recovery Recovery Advocacy, Education and Empowerment This includes advocacy, education, and community experiences.

Open Recovery is working to end stigma and discrimination to help tackle the drug addiction crisis in this community and country. Our purpose has always been to respond to the unmet needs in our communities to reduce the prevalence and consequences of alcoholism and drug addiction and to help people find and sustain recovery. In it's founding 6 decades ago, we pursued that purpose in San Francisco

by providing direct services such DUI and drug diversion programs for individuals who were mandated by courts and the California Department of Motor Vehicles, as well as through counseling, prevention education, and other community outreach. In 2015, the board and management team re-positioned the organization to become a leading advocate and proponent of long-term recovery from addiction. We changed our name from The National Council on Alcoholism and other Drug Addictions - Bay Area to Center for Open Recovery. Our purpose today is both an evolution from, and a re-commitment to our founder, Marty Mann’s vision: “to help individuals, families and entire communities discover a path of recovery.”

Known today simply as Open Recovery, we exists to champion, explore, create and strengthen solutions that support long-term recovery from addiction.

Given that today is BLACK FRIDAY, we thought we'd share a thought or two meant to bring us back to what is real and what really matters in our lives as opposed to focusing on the purely material.

But the effects can be detrimental. BEING OPEN is good. That we know. Being forced to BE OPEN, not so much. More at Slate. https://buff.ly/2mc2fVT
