She decided that our southwest region needs recovery residences for many people who suffer alcoholism and substance use disorders with co-occurring mental health issues. The Colorado Agency for Recovery Residences is expected to certify the homes operated by the LLC. Community Compassion Outreach, as a partner, provides each resident the Recovery Empowerment Support Services Team Program with one-on-one engagement as needed, as well as weekly group workshops.
Background
Since March 2022, we provide peer-based recovery support services to our unhoused peers who suffer with substance misuse (substance use disorders) of alcohol and/or drugs, opioids and mixed substances.
A huge gap in service presents a need for women with children who are experiencing homelessness! We believe they should be housed in a home where drugs and alcohol are not allowed. There are women living in an apartment that do not have access to a recovery support program. Those women--who may or may not have children living with them, also need a home free of drugs and alcohol!
They would be closely supervisedby CCO'sRecovery Empowerment Support Services Team with mandated weekly coaching. the RESSTeam consists of Peer Support Professionals who are trained with a minimum of 60-hours education through the Connecticut Center for Recovery Coach (CCAR) training. We have access to Colorado certified trainers.
Community Compassion Outreach Peer Support Professionals have lived experience with substance use disorder and/or co-occurring mental health issues, some experienced homelessness and were in the criminal justice system. Their recovery for more than one year provides their peers with patience, understanding and compassion during the long journey toward recovery.
Instead of therapy, we provide a wide-range of empowering, motivating and encouraging self-determination within our support & services program. Education about addiction and co-occurring mental health disorders offers our peers awareness of their strengths and their Recovery Capital. Awareness helps individuals to be in the moment--rather than being out-of-focus in the external forces that comes through the people we know, or within the environment we spend most of our time; and for those much-needed basics (food, warmth and shelter).
