Find a Virtual Recovery Meeting

Community support is an essential part of recovery. So what happens when our communities shut down to stop the spread of the coronavirus?

If you’ve got a smart device and an internet connection, you can still participate in recovery meetings. It just needs to happen remotely for a while.

The recovery community has shown an incredible amount of support, love, and concern for each other during this stressful time. Remember: You are not alone, and countless other Americans know exactly what you’re going through.
