ASSISTANCE FOR PEOPLE IN RECOVERY IS A NECESSITY

Recovery Community Network of Central MN has announced that their peer recovery services have been discontinued temporarily due to the spread of COVID-19. However, they sent us a press release wanting us to let you know that services WILL BE available through telephone, text and online.

 

A MESSAGE FROM DIRECTOR JOHN DONOVAN

“It’s important to remember that Substance Use Disorder is a medical condition. Cutting off access to recovery support services at this time would be analogous to telling someone with high blood pressure that medication won’t be available for the foreseeable future. We wouldn’t do that for someone with hypertension, and we certainly won’t do that for people in recovery or who are seeking recovery services. For people in recovery or seeking help with a SUD, it is more important than ever to stay linked and connected with a recovery community.”

I took the above  information directly from the news release, as statements from John
Donovan, Director of The Recovery Community Network.
