📢📌Attention📌📢

We are NOT having a First Friday Event for July.

Stay tuned for some exciting events in the future.

📌📢ATTENTION📢📌

The CRA center and offices are moving into a TEMPORARY home starting July 1st.

We are still on the search for our forever home, but we want to make sure to take care of our community while we do so. So meetings and coaching will continue July 1st at our new location at 231 State Street Suite 6.

With this move we are adjusting some of the things we can offer in a smaller location. We will still have Noon Meetings Monday - Friday and a meeting Tuesdays at 7pm. We are also taking walk in and booked appointments for coaching.

This does mean we are temporarily pausing some of the extra meetings. Stay in touch for more information about them.

A lot of this information will be changing and adjusting more in the coming weeks so we thank you in advance for your patience and understanding during this transition.

Also keep an eye on this space for updates about the upcoming events we have planned in July, August, and September.

🌈 Happy Pride Month! 🌈

This June, we celebrate the vibrant and diverse LGBTQIA+ community 🏳️‍🌈✨

Pride is more than a celebration—it's a powerful reminder of the ongoing fight for equality, acceptance, and human rights. Whether you're a part of the community or an ally, your voice and actions make a difference. Let's spread love, kindness, and understanding as we continue to strive for a world where everyone can live authentically and proudly.

The CRA Team recognizes the struggles that individuals face with their identity and how the usage of substances can be an individual’s coping mechanism in a world where not everyone sees them as an equal.

Please join us Fridays at 3pm for our Rainbow Recovery Meeting

Happy Pride! 🌟💖💛💚💙💜

We had an amazing time hosting a roundtable event with Nessel
today to talk about the Opioid settlement funds for Michigan county's and what they can be used toward with helping those in the community be able to sustain their sobriety journey.

Cant wait to see what else we can do for the local communities!

We Recovery Together!

📌📢ATTENTION📢📌

The CRA Community Center will open late on MAY 31st

The Center will open at/around 12pm for the Noon Meeting.

📢📌UPDATE📌📢

We are updating our SMART Meetings on Tuesday and Friday to be extended to a 90 Minute session. We recognize that we haven't been able to work on SMART Tools for those attending our meetings, so we are expanding our time to make sure we can provide you with the tools needed to help in your Recovery.

With the longer form of a meeting, we do understand that some individuals may have to leave early and that is perfectly fine. We will continue to adjust as needed with this meeting and others to make sure everyone is getting what they need when they come for a Recovery Meeting.
