RISE UP Recovery began when its founders, Tiffany and her husband Chad, recognized significant gaps in their community's recovery system. They saw a lack of support both for individuals seeking recovery services and for those working to sustain their progress after treatment. As people in long-term recovery themselves—with over 30 years of collective experience—they deeply understand the challenges of this journey.
Rooted in their faith, Tiffany and Chad believe in “doing life” with those recovering from substance use disorders, walking alongside them through what can be a lonely, scary, and difficult road. Along their own recovery journey, they discovered the abundant life first found in Christ and then in living free from substance use.
RISE UP Recovery is founded on Christian principles and is committed to decreasing stigma—within the community, families, and personal lives—while promoting long-term recovery. Their mission is to provide support, hope, and respect to every recoveree, empowering them to heal, find freedom, and ultimately give back by sharing their own stories of hope and transformation. Recovery is possible, and RISE UP Recovery is here to make it a reality.
WHO WE ARE
RISE UP Recovery is a Recovery Community Organization serving Hastings, MN, Dakota County and surrounding areas. We currently provide Peer Recovery Support Services, recovery housing, advocacy, and community education. We believe in and value all pathways to recovery. While our fundamental values are grounded in Christianity, we value each individual's journey of healing, change, and transformation. We have a "Recovery First" value system that places the utmost value and belief in each individual's ability to achieve and maintain long-term recovery. We know because we live it every day!
While each persons recovery journey may look and feel different, we believe each person is a valuable resource and we have discovered that we are better and stronger together. Substance use can wreak havoc on our relationships with ourselves, others, and community. We believe in the healing power of connection!
We offer optional faith based Christian resources, support, and services.
What is a Recovery Community Organization?
A recovery community organization (RCO) is an independent, non-profit organization led and governed by representatives of local communities of recovery. These organizations organize recovery-focused policy advocacy activities, carry out recovery-focused community education and outreach programs, and provide peer-based recovery support services. (P-BRSS).The broadly defined recovery community - people in long-term recovery, their families, friends and allies, including recovery-focused addiction and recovery professionals - includes organizations whose members reflect religious, spiritual and secular pathways of recovery. The sole mission of an RCO is to mobilize resources within and outside of the recovery community to increase the prevalence and quality of long-term recovery from alcohol and other drug addiction. Public education, policy advocacy and peer-based recovery support services are the strategies through which the mission is achieved.
