APAA is a non-profit organization with the purpose of providing recovery support services to individuals in or seeking recovery from alcohol or drug addiction. We are a peer-driven and peer-led recovery community support program that offers peer-to-peer recovery management and promotes volunteerism within the recovery community.
We provide APAA members the opportunity to interact with each other in safe environments to nourish their shared recovery. APAA emphasizes recovery with respect to overall health and the promotion of wellness through improving relationships with self, family, and community. APAA is not a treatment program.
Recovery is living a satisfying, hopeful, and contributing life even with the limitations caused by addiction and its associated stigma. It is a unique, personal process of changing individual attitudes, values, feelings, goals, skills and/or roles. Recovery involves the development of a new meaning and purpose in an individual's life as they progress beyond the catastrophic effects of addiction.
