What We Do

Our non-profit is dedicated to supporting individuals recovering from substance use disorder beyond the confines of in-patient treatment facilities. While many programs focus solely on helping those with substance use disorder achieve sobriety, we recognize the critical need to assist them in maintaining their recovery long-term. Our primary objective is to alleviate the financial strain often experienced by those in lower income brackets or distressing circumstances, ensuring they have access to vital community and therapeutic resources.

It’s integral to emphasize that we do not provide direct financial assistance to individuals; instead, we establish partnerships with service providers to facilitate access to the necessary support systems. Recognizing the scarcity of post-treatment programs, we aim to fill this gap by empowering people recovering from substance use disorder with opportunities for sustained sobriety and personal growth.

Collaborating with licensed professionals in mental health and substance use disorder, we offer a range of support services tailored to individual needs. Whether it’s assisting with essentials like transportation or employment resources, or larger commitments such as securing housing in a supportive environment, we strive to provide comprehensive assistance that fosters stability and resilience in recovery journeys. Through our efforts, we aspire to reduce relapse rates, offer hope, and ultimately save lives.

Who We Serve

Purple Recovery is dedicated to serving individuals who are navigating the challenging journey of recovery from substance use disorder, particularly those who have recently completed in-patient treatment programs and are transitioning back into their communities. These individuals often face significant financial burdens, compounded by the lack of post-treatment support services and resources.

We aim to provide tailored support and assistance to empower these individuals in their recovery journey, offering a lifeline of hope, stability, and opportunity as they strive to maintain sobriety and rebuild their lives.
