WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO?
Colusa County Recovery (CCR) was founded in December of 2020 on the principles of people helping people.
Our free digital recovery platform and companion recovery discussion group on Facebook (Clean and Sober Nation) has become valuable additions to our rural community's existing TOOLBOX of available services that address substance use disorders.
Digital Recovery For The Modern Age
At Colusa County Recovery, we are committed to breaking down barriers to recovery by leveraging the power of the internet, digital resources, communications and online communities to support one another in our recovery. With rapid advancements in science, technology and artificial intelligence, we believe that virtual recovery has the power to revolutionize the way addiction recovery services are delivered -- and we intend to stay at the forefront of this movement.
Peer Mentoring Services
Our role as digital peer recovery mentors is to support community members in their recovery. To help prevent relapse and promote long-term recovery. To provide hope and encouragement, and embrace the principle of mutual empowerment. Peer support services are 100% free and confidential. Peer support provided through Colusa County Recovery is not a replacement for clinical services or professional therapy but an added level of support to help community members in their recovery journey.
"You are more than your circumstances. You are your possibilities."

THE COURAGE OF LIONS
As a community, we can learn a lot from the strength and courage of lions.
Just like a pride of lions, our rural community can work together to address the
complexities of addiction and support those in need. Each member of the
community, whether a well-funded agency, a small community organization,
a church, or an individual with lived life experience, has a unique role and
contribution to make, just like each lion in a pride.
At Colusa County Recovery, we believe in the power of the lion pride mentality.
Our grassroots recovery outreach may not have the financial resources of larger agencies, but our volunteers have the hearts and courage of lions, and are dedicated to helping individuals break the cycle of addiction and live happy, productive lives.
Let us join together, like a pride of lions, to build a diverse network of support and services that ensures the recovery and success of all members of our community.
The Definition of Recovery
Recovery is a process of change through which individuals improve their health and wellness, live a self-directed life, and strive to reach their full potential.
Four major dimensions that support a life in recovery:
-
Health: overcoming or managing one’s disease(s) as well as living in a physically and emotionally healthy way;
-
Home: a stable and safe place to live;
-
Purpose: meaningful daily activities, such as a job, school, volunteerism, family caretaking, or creative endeavors, and the independence, income and resources to participate in society; and
-
Community: relationships and social networks that provide support, friendship, love and hope.
