ACTION ALERT: TESTIMONIES NEEDED TO OPPOSE NEVADA ASSEMBLY BILL 194

On behalf of thousands of individuals and families in Nevada impacted by addiction, Foundation for Recovery invites you to lend your story to legislators this Monday as they consider implementing Assembly Bill 194 — a harmful policy that will restrict peer recovery support services through expensive, mandatory licensing and require that people offering peer support should be closely supervised to ensure they are following a strict treatment protocol. This is the opposite of what effective peer support is!

Our stories will provide policy makers with the proof that recovery DOES NOT OCCUR only under the licensed scrutiny of the state and that people in recovery ARE capable of self-directing care. Please click the link below for meeting dates/times and to learn how you can attend and participate virtually. #OurStoriesHavePower #NevadaRecoveryMovement

Person-Directed Recovery

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.
