MY RECOVERY DC
Sick and Tired Of Drugs and Alcohol?

MyRecovery is a public education campaign with an online service that helps DC residents who use opioids, alcohol, and other drugs find treatment and recovery services in their neighborhood. This program of the District of Columbia Department of Health (DC Health) seeks to increase the use of the District’s treatment and recovery services by increasing access to and reducing the stigma surrounding drug use and treatment.

MyRecovery affirms DC Health’s commitment to four key principles:
  • Treatment works.
  • Recovery is possible.
  • Connecting with a peer can help you find your own path to recovery.
  • Treatment and recovery services are available to you now in your community.
