A dual diagnosis treatment network that makes recovery realistic, attainable, accessible, and the preferable option for anyone suffering from the disease of addiction so that people can live productive, satisfying, fulfilling lives where they contribute meaningfully to a better future for all.
Our Mission
To provide culturally relevant wrap-around whole-person services, including psychiatric/mental health, addiction treatment, housing, education, employment, childcare, political/civic engagement, community service, and artistic and creative development, while ensuring that clients and staff have a voice, responsible oversight, and investment in the agency’s ongoing development. Based on a sociocratic governance model, to build a worker-owned collective that creates opportunity, prosperity, and sustainable solutions with a focus on alleviating structural DEI issues in the behavioral health workforce through cultivating a recovery-oriented focus. To be a force for revolutionary, systemic, structural global economic transformation based on the spiritual principle of living modestly so others can live abundantly.
Did You Know?
Currently, 95% of the people suffering with the disease of addiction do not want treatment. In general this is because treatment is often seen as a dead end, where people will give up what brings them joy for a dreary existence without friends, or any real way out of their challenges driving their addiction.
Our vision is to become a trusted leader in holistic recovery, where individuals from all walks of life find a way out of the cycles of substance use, dereliction, neglect of themselves and their families, and living lives trapped without real solutions to living lives where they are free, happy, and experiencing the fullness of the day to day happiness and success that people all want, where they can have stability and the ability to live life to the fullest.
