Why We Started Unity Recovery

Recovery is a reality for over 22 million Americans with past substance use concerns, over 40 million in mental health recovery, and countless more millions across the globe. We truly believe that recovery is individual, dynamic, and ultimately, best directed by the individual with support from their community.

With this philosophy in mind, Unity Recovery was founded to be an inclusive recovery community organization and community center for everyone. We offer non-clinical, peer-based recovery support services in our communities to support individuals and family members on their paths of recovery.

  • Vision: We envision a world where recovery is no longer hidden in the shadows and the millions of Americans with mental health and substance use disorders are celebrated and supported.
  • Mission: To provide inclusive community-based recovery support services and education for all individuals in or seeking recovery.
Recovery Thrives In  Our Communities
Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and Weatherford are home to some of the most vibrant and diverse recovery communities in the United States. At Unity, we partner with the entire community to bring comprehensive non-clinical, peer-based recovery supports to those that need them – from recovery meetings, peer recovery specialists, education and vocational training.
