Telephone Recovery
Telephone Recovery Support– an innovative, peer to peer, recovery support service. TRS provides weekly phone calls to people in recovery. Trained TRS volunteers call to “check in” and ask how people are doing managing their recovery. Volunteers are trained to provide support, encouragement and information about recovery resources. TRS helps reduce relapse and enhances the recovery experience. 1Vozco.com
Weekly Recovery Support Calls
The beauty is in the simplicity. TRS helps people stay in recovery. Sometimes just a phone call can make someone feel wanted, cared about and included. Dare, we say “loved”. When making the call, the volunteer will feel rewarded when they have spoken with someone. They share in joys and sorrows, triumphs and setbacks. They have the satisfaction of giving back, of making a difference.
It’s a classic win-win scenario.

Include Diversity
By failing to include diversity in our messaging and our messengers, we are leaving out racial and ethnic minorities. While it is doubtful that this is intentional, the outcome is the same. The recovery movement is exacerbating already existing disparities in treatment. This needs to change if we are to have a unified front in creating positive norms with regard to addiction, treatment, and recovery… Angelo Lagares, Founder Latino Recovery Advocates
