Any Rhode Islander. Any substance. Anywhere in the state. RICARES helps anyone find, and walk, their path to recovery.


Our Mission
Rhode Island Community for Addiction Recovery Efforts (RICARES) is a grassroots recovery effort focused on creating a socially just community for all Rhode Islanders impacted by alcohol and substance use disorders. We approach stigma like a crossroads, with a lens to advocate for change.
Our Vision
We see a Rhode Island where recovery is a normal lifestyle, free from stigma. Individuals in recovery are well, find employment of their choice, have income that sustains them and their families, are engaged in caring, healthy relationships, live securely, and participate in the civic life of their communities.
