Organizational Culture and Vision

LivingProof Recovery is a Recovery Community Organization, a nonprofit led by people in long-term recovery, providing support services to other people who are in or seeking recovery.

Organization’s goals over the next year is to focus on opening their re-entry home for women titled Next Door.

“Working or volunteering in the recovery community is both rewarding and sometimes ‘the job that never sleeps’. There isn’t a given day that really looks the same while doing this job, but to be able to sit with people in a time of need and give them hope is something so rewarding there isn’t really words to describe it.” – LivingProof Recovery Staff
