Recovery Support Program
Recovery Happens! Rocklands CARES has seen triumphs in recovery firsthand. Throughout the years, part of our mission has always been to provide resources to the Rockland community affected by substance use disorder. Our goal is to be part of the solution in any way we can.
Our scholarship program provides people with a connection to Rockland with financial support towards sober living.
Rockland C.A.R.E.S. Recovery Support Program
Here’s how it
We believe everyone has it in them to find recovery. Not everyone has the resources available to help make this a reality, however. We want to help!
People who are seeking assistance in the recovery process can reach out to Rockland C.A.R.E.S. at rocklandcares@yahoo.com or message us on Facebook. We are also seeking suggestions from individuals or addiction assistance programs that know someone who might be a good candidate for the program. Please provide a completed application (page 3) and ensure your contact info and case manager contact info if applicable is included.
