Join us in supporting, empowering and guiding members of the Substance Use Disorder recovery community towards reaching their goals through personal connection, community & shared experiences
Refocus Recovery is focused on building a partnership network that works together, scaling to meet the increasing need more effectively than the organizations who provide services in a silo. We believe that:
Recovery communities are built through collaboration and engagement
Everyone deserves to live a healthy life, free from substance misuse
In-person advocacy & strong community capital is critical to recovery
Public education of the benefits of community engagement in recovery is necessary for lasting positive change and de-stigmatization
Refocus Recovery assisted in shepherding those with an SUD to a life of recovery by focusing on the removal of six practical barriers: gaining job skills, accessing housing, accessing transportation, addressing legal issues, alleviating financial burdens and restoring families.

The amount I saved not having to pay for this PRS training class is a big chunk of my vacation savings for my 3 daughters and myself last June!!!
Not having to worry about a training class payment helped me because I didn't have the money. I was able to take the test and start working once I passed. I'm just thankful!
The largest barrier to recovery is the workforce shortage: as the only RCO in Minnesota providing free CPRS training, we have created the largest CPRS workforce in the state in less than 18 months. We have facilitated over 90,000 service hours to date.
Specialized Support Through Community Partnerships
Through relationships with culturally-specific organizations we are able to provide specialized support to underserved and marginalized communities who have historically been left behind.
Building Recovery Community Centers
Refocus Recovery envisions a community where recovery support, access, treatment and housing will be in one place for those in need. With on-site CPRS staff from different communities, culturally diverse, self-sustaining and unique infrastructures will be built.

After I got out of treatment I wasn’t even sure what I wanted to do, but I knew I wanted to help people. I found my way to Refocus Recovery and found that instead of helping 20 people, by being a CPRS Trainer I could help 20 people help 100 people.
