RCO Definition
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/or
provide peer-based recovery support services (P-BRSS).
The Association of Recovery Community Organizations (ARCO) at Faces & Voices of Recovery unites and supports the growing network of local, regional, and statewide Recovery Community Organizations (RCOs).
ARCO is a membership program that brings together new, emerging and established RCO's to build the unified voice of the organized recovery community.
ARCO links RCOs and their leaders with local and national allies through networking opportunities and sharing resources. We are committed to advocating for policies and funding to develop and strengthen organizations led and governed by the recovery community.
