Find your community. Foundation for Recovery is Nevada’s statewide Recovery Community Organization – a community nonprofit led by volunteers and staff in recovery from mental health and substance use disorders. Together we support people and families struggling and create a sense of community among those of us with lived-experience. We focus on our strengths, not our illness.
Our focus is strength-based support for anyone in need. We provide one-on-one peer support, group meetings, and sober-social events to promote and enhance recovery support systems across Nevada.
Upgrade your skills with free courses and workshops developed for a range of audiences. Whether you’re a peer support specialist, employer, faith-leader, or clinician, we have something for you.
Organizing our communities and advocating for people and families impacted by addiction. It’s time we start seeing people with lived-experience as a resource, not a liability.

Person-centered recovery is directed, as much as possible by the person – including decisions about who should be included in the process. The planning identifies just a few small, but meaningful, short-term changes that the individual can focus on helping to reduce some of the barriers or challenges moving forward. Person centered care should be central to all recovery frameworks.
