Creating something new and innovative outside of the box is never easy, especially when you're the first in a rural community to do so. But that's exactly what Susan Wagenaar, the founder of Colusa County Recovery, accomplished.

 

By reimagining recovery through a digital lens, she offered a fresh perspective on decreasing  barriers to recovery by leveraging the power of the internet, digital communications, free resources, virtual peer support, and social media engagement to improve addiction recovery outcomes for help seekers and silent strugglers.

​

With rapid advancements in science, technology and artificial intelligence, we believe that virtual recovery has the power to revolutionize the way recovery services and peer support are delivered, and we intend to stay at the forefront of this movement. 

​

Our dedicated band of volunteers in recovery have invested over 2800 hours of work into creating this valuable digital resource, and the end results speak for itself. The platform offers a wide range of diverse self-help recovery tools, original content, inspiring videos, and wellness resources. It also provides instant access to our nation-wide resource 'Clean and Sober Nation' a thriving recovery community on Facebook, boasting nearly 5,000 members, featuring a companion YouTube Channel, where individuals can connect with others in recovery, anytime, anywhere, for support, encouragement, and fellowship.
