Alumni In Recovery (AinR)
ALUMNI IN RECOVERY (AinR) provides a safe and reliable program to heighten awareness, hope, and resources for our local communities. We aim to end the stigma of addiction and substance use disorder by sharing our stories with middle and high school students, parents, and communities.
We are a Service-Based Volunteer Program
Originating in Bergen County, NJ, and rapidly expanding throughout the Northeast, we offer awareness services to schools and communities.
We are People in Recovery
Our Recovery Members are abstinent from all mind-altering drugs, including alcohol. They are responsible local young adults living in the community, building their lives, and actively living a life of recovery. They volunteer their time to speak openly about their feelings and issues during the developmental preteen and teen years. They share about their struggles with addiction and how they overcame them. They also speak about the importance of asking for help and opting for better choices.
Our Parent Program
Our organization is two-fold in speaking to the public. Parents and family members who have lost loved ones to overdose and substance-related deaths are vital to the organization's mission in talking openly about substance misuse. Real-life local voices sharing their stories and experiences help to change the perception of substance misuse and addiction.
Our Participants Speak from their Hearts
As an act of love and caring, our volunteers do not expect anything other than the gratitude that comes from helping others. It is their hope that Alumni in Recovery helps others better understand this deadly disease — all with the desire to help save lives.
