The Foundation for Recovery Releases Latest Edition of Their Southern Nevada Recovery Resource Directory

LAS VEGAS — The Foundation for Recovery just released the latest edition of the Southern Nevada Recovery Resource Directory. The directory provides vital resources that someone struggling with addiction would need to start on their path of recovery. This comprehensive resource lists everything from 12-step meetings to legal services; hotlines to healthcare services; support groups to substance abuse facilities.

The Resource Directory has been expanded to incorporate a new section on Faith Based Recovery Resources. Community Relations Manager Heidi Gustafson states that “FFR recognizes and embraces Faith Based Recovery as a viable pathway for the relief and treatment of the Disease of Addiction. Many people are more comfortable walking through faith based doors than other alternatives available to them. This option helps to reduce the negative stigma for those seeking help from this deadly and chronic disease.”

The newest edition of the Resource Directory also features the title on the cover in both English and Spanish to reflect the fact that information is provided in both languages. The Directory also contains a small section in Mandarin Chinese. FFR is committed to making recovery from addiction more widely available to a diverse audience.

FFR prints the Southern Nevada Recovery Resource Directory four times per year and distributes copies to the Las Vegas Valley free of charge. Resource Directories can be found in all LVMPD patrol cars, community resource and referral centers, 12-step meeting spaces, community events, and online at www.ForRecovery.org. To request free copies, have your organization listed, or to purchase ad space please call the Foundation at (702) 257-8199 or email ResourceDirectory@forrecovery.org.

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.
