Love and Respect Recovery Community Center
Providing Free Support to Individuals Struggling with Substance Use, Mental Health Hurdles, and/or Reentry after Incarceration
Overview
Love and Respect Community for Recovery and Wellness is the first Peer Support run and operated recovery community organization and nonprofit located in the heart of Hendersonville, NC. Our drop-in center is a safe and relaxed place where individuals struggling with substance use and/or mental health hurdles can come to receive many kinds of support, free of charge. We believe each person is worthy of dignity, love, and respect, regardless of where they’re at on their recovery/life journey!
Services
1-1 Peer Support
A certified peer support specialist with the lived experience of substance use/mental health struggles will work individually with you to support you in your health and wellness needs, at your pace. As a part of this supportive relationship, the services offered individually are also offered in the drop-in center as people need them.
Health and Wellness Support
Our peer staff are resource geniuses! We can help connect you to things like food, clothing, housing, education, phones, employment and resume help, substance use treatment, mental health wrap around services, detox, and transitional housing. There’s more, but you get the gist!
Support Groups
Our support groups are certified peer support specialist facilitated. This means that you don’t have to be a part of a particular recovery tradition (12-step, SMART, Refuge, etc.) to join us. We offer online groups as well. All pathways of recovery and all people are welcome!
Training
We offer recovery-oriented training for individuals, community members, and organizations/provider agencies. Our training offerings range from Racial Equity and Inclusion 101 to Peer Boundaries and Ethics and everything in between. We also mentor new Peer Support Specialists!
Love and Respect recently added Narcan to our list of available items for our participants.
We respect all forms of recovery Love and Respect, and want to make sure our participants in active use of any kind, are able to access Narcan.
