What we’re about
# Our Mission – 100% Recovery
We are a Non-Profit 501c3 that focuses on Recovery from addiction, PTSD, and codependency as well as provide a great space for Yoga, A Course in Miracles, and other spiritually based groups.
What specific activities do we conduct?
Rehabilitation workshops, 113 WEEKLY 12 step meetings for a wide variety of addictions (a moderate percentage of attendees are court ordered to attend), codependency, support for family members of addicts, and PTSD recovery, as well as 2 WEEKLY anger management classes for men and women (most court ordered to attend), and special speaker events with authors on all of the above-mentioned topics to share their knowledge and teach the community, as well as outreach events to introduce the general public to what help is available and how to recognize if they or a loved one has a problem.
We also have a radio/tv internet show, “The REAL Recovery Show” where we have powerful explanations of the various aspects of what to expect, where to go for help, etc. We also serve as a refuge for homeless people (who are lucid and trying to get off or stay off drugs and alcohol) to attend. When someone comes to us needing to get court papers signed, we provide the process and the papers and teach them. When someone comes to us needing to detox, we find them the right contacts or make the calls to help them get the help they need. When someone is scared to go to their “first meeting,” we walk them through the process, ask them questions and assuage their concerns. When they come in needing to talk because they are about to drink or relapse on drugs, we sit with them in a peer support manner. We provide pamphlets and other forms of written information free of charge on all aspects of recovery. We also provide literature at cost to the various meetings.
Many people have told us that we saved their lives….by providing a safe clean space, the communication and resources, and by staying open (we were declared an essential business during COVID by the County Commissioners office and kept open to work with the homeless, the people with PTSD, the people who would have used in isolation, and had volunteers with long term recovery helping.)
Who participates in the activities?
For the 12 step events, peer volunteers in recovery facilitate their meetings, sometimes the Board (who are also in recovery with many years sober and clean off drugs and alcohol) runs them. We run the workshops and community events such as Craft Fairs (where people in recovery can sell and show off their creations) and social events (where they can meet other like-minded solution-oriented people healing from addictions and afflictions. All events for the recovery community are overseen by us to make sure that they are in alignment with the overall healing focus and recovery vision.
Attendees include anyone who wants to improve their lives, whether they be on a spiritually healing journey consciously, or needing help with deeper healing. Many are even court mandated people, people wanting help getting and staying sober off drugs and alcohol, homeless people who want help and refuge from the weather while they get help, people wanting to heal from PTSD and child abuse, and people needing support and tools to live with or assist those in their lives who are active in addiction or trying to be in recovery without enabling them.
Because of our prime location, we serve not just local individuals seeking help, but also people who travel to and through Las Vegas on a regular basis.
Where we conduct the activities?
While we do outreach activities at other locations, we primarily have them all at our meeting room facility located at 6115 S. Rainbow BLVD, Las Vegas, NV 89118 in suites 103, 104 and 107 of a commercial store front. 107 includes a glass enclosed child padded playroom, so attendees of activities who are single parents can attend while watching their children in a way that does not disrupt the event. 103 has a projector and sound system for events that are more educational or celebratory. We provide the tables, chairs, equipment, pamphlets, podiums, sound system, lockers, coffee machines, filtered water machines, and cleaning supplies. We also are centrally located and have direct bus access with a stop right in front of our location. We are the largest resource in the Southwest Las Vegas area. Montevista, Serenity Club, and Church and Hospital meetings all closed during COVID and now we help the majority of people.
