Sunrise Community for Recovery and Wellness believes everyone deserves the chance to see tomorrow. But anxiety, trauma and isolation are symptoms contributing to a massive rise in substance use, mental health challenges and unintended overdose deaths. 

We are a Recovery Community Organization (RCO), led and governed by those in the recovery community and their allies. Sunrise’s staff of Certified Peer Support Specialists provide hope and healing through their shared lived experience overcoming and managing substance use and mental health challenges- an evidence-based model of improving recovery support outcomes- and help others discover and maintain their pathway to recovery. 

Sunrise helps fill gaps in systems of care for some of our most vulnerable populations- the houseless, the recently incarcerated, and those experiencing mental wellness and substance use challenges. We offer opportunities for individuals to discover their own journey to recovery through peer support, free services, resource connection with community partners and a pathway to gainful employment as a Peer Support Specialist.

Our staff are the hands and heart of our organization and are able to connect with participants in an authentic, evidence-based way that removes stigma, reduces isolation and lowers instances of incarceration, hospitalization and recidivism.

At Sunrise we accept and respect people of all races, ethnicities, gender identities, sexual orientation, socio economic status, age, physical ability, religious belief, treatment choices, and various mental, emotional, and physical challenges. We celebrate diversity in a safe and positive environment. It is our responsibility to abide by these guidelines to create a safe and inclusive environment for all.
