What Is a Recovery Community Organization?
​
A Recovery Community Organization (RCO) is a nonprofit organization led by people with lived experience in recovery. RCOs provide peer-based recovery support services designed to help individuals and families achieve and maintain recovery.
​
Unlike treatment providers, RCOs focus on ongoing recovery support, community connection, advocacy, education, and peer services.
​
Common RCO services include:
• Recovery Coaching
• Peer Support Services
• Transportation Assistance
• Support Groups
• Community Education
• Family Support
• Recovery Events
• Advocacy
​
RCOs help individuals navigate challenges that may arise before, during, and after treatment.
​
By focusing on connection, purpose, and community involvement, RCOs help individuals build recovery capital and improve long-term outcomes.
