The aim of the Recovery Resource Center is to create a resource hub individuals impacted by substance use and seeking recovery support services. The Center serves individuals at any stage of the recovery journey.
The Recovery Resource Center is an initiative of the Cumberland-Fayetteville Opioid Response Team. The Center is supported by community partners and made possible with Opioid Settlement Funds.
Walk-ins are always welcome at the Center. We offer a range of services, classes, and events that are supported by our community partners. Please visit our calendar for more information about the availability of specific services.
