RICARES is a grassroots alliance dedicated to developing a voice of empowerment for, and decreasing stigma about, those in alcohol and other drug dependency recovery.
RICARES subscribes to the belief that individuals suffering from addiction have the ability to recover.
RICARES advocates for those individuals still negotiating the recovery and treatment system. Its members are empowered through resources, skills development, peer-to-peer services, and community social events.
