About US
AVANT RECOVERY
We are friends helping friends inspire hope, purpose, and passion to grow as individuals and strengthen our community of social supports. Our Peer Support Program of collaborative, evidence-based classes and groups focuses on developing mindful awareness and cultivating self-discovery for intentional and deliberate, positive behavior change.
Avant Recovery is a Peer Support Community of Practice (CoP) that is passionate about supporting people through their personal recovery journey, to empower new ways of living to their fullest potential. As certified Peer and Family Recovery Support Specialists with first-hand experience in personal traumas and the overwhelming struggles of hopelessness, we share and inspire each other to expand our emotional agility, remove social isolation, and improve the quality of our lives. In addition to our classes and groups, we help navigate the sometimes-overwhelming world of recovery to help bridge the gaps where we have fallen in substance abuse, mental illness, and homelessness.
Avant offers motivation and guidance throughout the entire continuum of care, supporting growth at every stage to develop clear action plans, help explore new opportunities, and support life’s challenges to find a better way of living. We support life transformations by:
- Motivating individuals through the recovery journey in a supported community.
- Developing clear and sustainable recovery, wellness, and life plans.
- Providing peer inspiration, education, support groups and individual mentoring.
- Embracing individualized recovery and growth without judgement.
- Demystifying stigmas around substance abuse, co-occurring disorders, and the symptoms they perpetuate.
Avant’s philosophy is simple: do good, save lives, and help people find their inspiration, hope, purpose, and passion. People are not defined by substance misuse or mental illness so should not feel embarrassed, worthless, or less human. Everyone is unique and has a lot to offer when empowered to do better. By sharing the human connections of our journey- we offer guidance, inspiration, and support others in writing their own new storyline. People do not have to live in suffering, it is our duty to help.
