Our Recovery Center
Built on the best and most current recovery science from Harvard’s Recovery Research Institute, Johnson City Recovery Center (JCRC) is a peer-led and operated recovery community center. Although we do not provide professional treatment services or recovery housing, we do provide linkages to these valuable resources as well as help to build individual, family, and community recovery capital by providing advocacy training, recovery information, mutual aid support, recovery and health information, technology and internet assistance, resource mobilization, employment assistance, recovery coaching, volunteerism, yoga for recovery, social activities, etc. JCRC is a ‘recovery hub’ offering a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental environment for those seeking recovery where all paths to recovery are welcomed, affirmed, and celebrated.

Johnson City Recovery Center’s mission is to improve the quality of life for individuals, families, and communities who have been affected by substance use and addiction in Washington County and surrounding areas of Northeast Tennessee through the provision of community-based linkages and recovery support services that increase recovery capital and sustained recovery.
Our Vision Statement
Our vision is to create a safe, non-judgmental, and supportive environment led and operated by those with lived experience where all people affected by substance use and addiction have equitable access to life saving services and support.
