Sunrise Recovery Resource Center - The Sunrise Recovery Resource Center (SRRC) is designed to serve individuals over 18 years of age residing in Durham County with substance use disorders. SUNRISE (Seeking Understanding, Navigating Recovery, and Improving Solutions for Everyone) recovery community center has been providing services since December 2013. It is operated as a program of the Alcohol/Drug Council of North Carolina, a small but well-established recovery community organization that offers a variety of peer-delivered and innovative services statewide. The goals for SRRC are to: (1) create a program model that incorporates recovery values and competencies to develop an array of roles and services that can be delivered by peers to address recovery support service gaps and improve the quality of lives for people in recovery within their community; (2) offer recovery support programs that improve life skills and empower people to make and sustain self-directed positive changes; (3) improve overall health and wellness of people in recovery using a chronic disease self-management strategies that are developed, taught and or implemented by peers assisting other people with substance use disorders within the environment of a recovery center that is dynamic in order to provide assistance to address emerging service needs; and (4) create a community environment of mutual respect and acceptance that liberates people from discrimination and judgment and increases their ability to build personal long-term recovery capital resulting in a trauma-informed community. The associated recovery values addressed by these goals are the values of: leadership development and participatory process; authenticity of peers helping peers; keeping recovery first; and cultural diversity and inclusion.
