A recovery community organization (RCO) is an independent, non-profit
organization led and governed by representatives of local communities of recovery.
These organizations organize recovery-focused policy advocacy activities, carry
out recovery-focused community education and outreach programs, and/or provide
peer-based recovery support services (P-BRSS). The broadly defined recovery
community – people in long-term recovery, their families, friends and allies,
including recovery-focused addiction and recovery professionals – includes
organizations whose members reflect religious, spiritual and secular pathways of
recovery. The sole mission of an RCO is to mobilize resources within and outside
of the recovery community to increase the prevalence and quality of long-term
recovery from alcohol and other drug addiction. Public education, policy advocacy
and peer-based recovery support services are the strategies through which this
mission is achieved.
