Sunrise Community for Recovery and Wellness

Sunrise Community for Recovery and Wellness believes everyone deserves the chance to see tomorrow. We are a state recognized non-profit Recovery Community Organization (RCO), led and staffed by all North Carolina Peer Support Specialists. Our mission is creating community wellness through shared lived experience. Our team utilizes their lived experience to provide authentic peer support, resource navigation, harm reduction, education, and a pathway to becoming a certified peer support specialist.

Sunrise offers opportunities for individuals to discover their own journey to recovery through peer support, free services, resource connection with community partners and a pathway to gainful employment as a Peer Support Specialist. Our staff are the hands and heart of our organization and are able to connect with participants in an authentic, evidence-based way that removes stigma, reduces isolation and lowers instances of incarceration, hospitalization and recidivism.
