Peer-led recovery community center. CCAR does not provide detox or clinical treatment itself. It works as a clearinghouse: recovery coaches help you get into detox, rehab, or an intensive outpatient program, and help with food assistance, reentry needs, relapse prevention, and sober living. Recovery meetings are held every day except Sunday and are open to every recovery pathway, so they are not AA or NA meetings. Telephone recovery support and job readiness programs are also available. All services are free.
