IMPORTANT MESSAGE:
Due to funding limitations, Essex County Outreach has temporarily suspended recovery coaching services throughout most of Essex County and is not currently accepting new referrals in those areas.
Through RIZE-funded programming, we will continue providing recovery coaching services in Gloucester, Ipswich, and Rockport in partnership with CORE Peer Recovery & Resource Center until the end of 2026. At this time, our available resources are limited to these communities unless additional funding becomes available.
This was not an easy decision. We are incredibly grateful to everyone who has supported our mission over the years and to the individuals, families, first responders, and community partners who have trusted us to walk alongside them.
If you or someone you know is looking for recovery support and resides outside of our current service area, we encourage you to reach out to one of the following organizations:
*Eliot (https://www.eliotchs.org/addiction-and-substance-use…/)
*Riverbend (https://riverbendmv.org/recovery-support/)
*Your local CBHC
*Call or text 988 for immediate mental health or substance use crisis support
We remain hopeful that Essex County Outreach will be able to resume services in the future. Thank you for your understanding and support. We appreciate your commitment to helping individuals and families affected by substance use disorder.
