RESTORATION & REPAIR

This is our first small business initiative, which teaches job skills and provides employment for those with justice system histories. We offer home repair, maintenance, construction, & landscaping services for customers in and around Lynchburg.

OUTDOOR
ADVENTURE

We offer a variety of outdoor activities throughout the year as an additional way to promote wellness, build community amongst our peers, and improve quality
of life. The activities also allow peers to redefine "fun" in a supportive recovery environment through fostering new friendships, learning new skills, improving energy levels,
and better managing stress.

RECOVERY
SMILES

This project aims to improve the overall oral health of individuals in recovery from substance use disorders through awareness, education, and treatment while participants are living in an environment of overall recovery support.
Long-term outcomes include reduced health complication from poor oral health, improved
self-esteem, more opportunities for job attainment and promotion, as well as an enhanced overall quality of life.

ABOUT US

Roads to Recovery is a recovery community organization;
an independent, nonprofit corporation
led by people in and supportive of recovery.
Our mission is to assist other people to find and sustain recovery. Our goal is to develop and mobilize resources
to increase the prevalence and quality of long-term
recovery from alcohol and other drug addictions.
We focus on building services and supports
to fill gaps in the system of care.

Most people who drop out of treatment say
they would have stayed if they could have
received practical support with other areas of life,
such as a job, getting their kids back, or housing.

The services we provide are aimed at reducing
the stigma that prevents people from getting help.
Roads to Recovery operates a Recovery Center that is
the “hub” from which we provide peer recovery support services and promote a positive culture of recovery from substance use disorders. Our staff consists of people with “lived experience”
of addiction and recovery who serve as recovery mentors and system navigators. Roads to Recovery also operates
residential recovery services that provide an affordable
alternative to residential treatment.

What Makes Us Unique?

One thing we know for certain from 30 years of research,
is that people have better results (abstinence + quality of life)
the longer they stay engaged in supportive services.

In other words, the higher your quality of life, the more likely you are to stay in recovery. Our services are designed to address what people care about, and to keep them engaged for at least a year, through a variety of recovery support services. This is what recovery management means, and it is what makes our services different from traditional treatment. Some services require a fee, while others are free, and individual situations are considered on
a case-by-case basis. Some people will receive services
through contracts with their referral agencies.
