About Foundation for RecoveryEstablished in 2005, Foundation for Recovery has built programs and partnerships to remove barriers for Nevada families and communities impacted by substance use and mental health disorders. Our success is attributed to a simple concept; expand community support services, empower local leaders, build capacity for authentic addiction recovery resources, and treat people who use substances with dignity and respect. As Nevada's first and only statewide Recovery Community Organization, our philosophy is that those closest to the issue are closest to the solution. Which is why the majority of our staff, board, and volunteers who drive our mission are people with their own life experiences recovering from addiction and co-occurring disorders. Together, we uplift the voices of our communities and choose to focus on our strengths and talents, rather than our illnesses. This strength-based approach guides our vision for a world where resources, treatment, and support for addiction and mental health are abundant.DisclaimerNothing in this job description restricts management's right to assign or reassign duties and responsibilities to this job at any time.
