Keeping the Family Intact

At Leaders of Restoration Peer Recovery Support Center, our mission is to respond to people seeking addiction recovery using a person-centered approach, promoting long-term recovery by providing faith-based and holistic alternatives.

Recovery Peer Support

Peers are people with lived experience in recovery who share their experiences about recovery and shares “what worked for me” with others. By sharing similar experiences and hope, meaningful connections and supportive relationships are formed. Developing a sense of understanding of self and community, peers are positioned for empowerment of others. This simple concept engages peers in the process of recovery and reduces the risk of relapse. Peers in stable recovery are able to advocate for those in new to recovery, sharing resources and skills throughout the recovery process. Peers know what it’s like to be addicted to a substance first hand or know what is like to care for someone who is. Peers can speak to the struggle of daily stress and managing life on life’s terms. The value of peer support in recovery is showing others, through our own learning and life experiences, how to let go of the guilt, shame, and stigma related to addiction. This frees people to allow them to rebuild there lives and to restore their relationships.
