Job Summary
The Recovery Services Director reports to the executive director and is a member of Foundation for Recovery's senior leadership team. This role is responsible for the success and supervision of the organization's Recovery Support Service programs, ensuring seamless team management and development, program delivery, and quality control and evaluation.
 
The organization's recovery support programs are non-clinical, peer-run services, and may include recovery housing, food and meal services, transportation, coordination of care with participants, peer recovery support in individual and group settings, peer support on crisis intervention teams, and outreach to individuals and families impacted by substance use and co-occurring disorders.

Recovery community organizations are independent, non-profit organization led and governed by representatives of local communities of recovery with the aim to organize recovery-focused policy advocacy activities, carry out recovery-focused community education and outreach programs, and provide non-clinical, peer-based recovery support services. RCOs help bridge the gap between professional treatment and maintaining healthy and successful lives in long-term recovery.  
 
Our community recovery center offers people living with mental illness and substance use disorder opportunities for companionship, employment, housing, education, and assistance navigating medical, legal, and transportation systems in Nevada. Our center provides services in a caring and safe environment staffed and organized by other people recovering from behavioral health disorders – this peer-based model for social and economic inclusion provides pre-treatment and post-treatment programs to extend the sustainability of one’s recovery.

As Nevada's first and only statewide Recovery Community Organization, our philosophy is that those closest to the issue are closest to the solution. Which is why the majority of our staff, board, and volunteers who drive our mission are people with their own life experiences recovering from addiction and co-occurring disorders.

This strength-based approach guides our vision for a world where resources, treatment, and support for addiction and mental health are abundant.
