Testimonials
"Having faith in yourself is a big key to recovery and it can be hard to find. Digging out of the depths of ruins is hard but it can be done."
"Thank you, and y'all are the best thing that happened to me. I find myself for the better and thank y'all so much for that."
"I'm still pushing forward and not giving up. I've learned to go through the setbacks to get what needs to be done."
"I consider Recovery Café a part of my family. Thanks for being part of my recovery."
Mission
We are a community of refuge and healing for people in recovery.
Background Statement
Recovery Café Longmont's (RCL) mission is to serve as a community of refuge and healing for people in recovery. RCL was formed in late 2018 to address the unmet need for adequate, accessible, long-term recovery support services in Boulder County.
Recovery Café started in Seattle in 2004 and news of the Café's success spread quickly. After years of requests to replicate the model, Recovery Café Network (RCN) launched as a social licensing/cohort learning model providing mentorship, materials, expertise, and facilitated learning experiences. Longmont is an emerging member of the Network. RCN creates the structure to teach member Cafés about what does and does not work and also creates a platform to generate greater resources. RCN is built upon a foundation that incorporates best practices informed by lived experience and the latest academic research.
The Recovery Café model was chosen because it works. It works by standing in the gap between crisis and stability, between post-treatment and long-term recovery, and between loneliness and loving community.
