​Recovery Rising

Supporting Many Pathways Towards a Unified Vision

DDAP has launched an initiative called Recovery Rising to foster a resilient, diverse, and accessible recovery environment in Pennsylvania. DDAP has partnered with SAMHSA’s Opioid Response Network (ORN) and ORN partner C4 Innovations to plan and guide this initiative. This recovery environment would support:

  • multiple pathways to improved health and personal wellness,
  • diversity, equity, and inclusion,
  • community acceptance, and
  • personal autonomy and empowerment.

This six-month initiative will explore diverse viewpoints and experiences and share research and data to enrich
awareness of the full range of recovery options.

Phase 1 Recovery Rising Report


Advisory Commission Team

An Advisory Commission of influencers – spanning peer, clinical, policy, family, and community roles – will guide this process to culminate in a framework for change that embraces a unified vision representing varied perspectives of recovery support services. This framework will offer specific steps for implementation and will be shared with the recovery community, service providers, community organizations, policymakers, and the public to facilitate widespread support.
