Friends of Recovery - New Hampshire

FORNH and its family focused partner F.A.S.T.E.R (Families advocating Substance abuse Treatment, Education & Recovery) address issues that the recovery community find important: stigma, lack of information about recovery, lack of treatment, and other obstacles to individuals getting the help to find recovery.

We spread the word about the value of recovery from drug and alcohol abuse and the effects of addictions.

Our Mission

FOR-NH is committed to educating communities about:

· Substance abuse disorders

· The positive outcomes associated with
receiving appropriate treatment, and
the message of hope that recovery brings.

· The need for policies and legislation that assures resources for prevention and treatment and promotes recovery.

For too long, recovery voices have been absent at policy and planning forums which greatly affect the recovering person. Many funding decisions, concerning issues of education, job training, employment, child protective services, the juvenile and criminal justice systems and treatment have not included the voices and opinions of recovering individuals and their families

Our beliefs about how to solve the problems may differ but it is important that we find, make and take the opportunities to voice our opinions. What we do agree on, is that Recovery Works and we know that treating addictions is an important part of the solution
