Empowering Recovery: A Fresh Outlook
Join Us in Transforming Recovery Culture.
We believe in changing the way we treat our Substance Use Disorder, and changing the way our world treats us. We do not have any objective or common goal in SUDA except what you want your recovery to look like. We base our success on your quality of life, and trust you to find your recovery in a safe place. That safe place is SUDA, come find your recovery. When you get to recover how you want without interference from others, that is the cheat code for long term recovery. Find what works for you, refine it, and define it on your terms. Come find your path.
Empowering Spaces for Recovery
In SUDA our community brings a compassionate approach to recovery, emphasizing self-empowerment and healthy boundaries with the substances and people around us. Our mission is to find recovery, end stigma, and promote understanding. We want to be a safe space to find your recovery. In SUDA recovery is defined by you and each individual creates their own path. No one is going to save you except yourself, we just provide the connection for you to empower yourself to recover.
How do we do this? We make a commitment to have good boundaries with each other through following the SUDA way. What is the SUDA way, well that is up to you. The SUDA way is your way. We view Substance Use Disorder as a mental health condition, and that recovery is based on function and quality of life, not adherence to any one way of thinking. Welcome to all who seek wellness in a sea of noise and people wanting to save you. SUDA will never assume they have your solution, we only have a space to find your solution. Tag, your it. You are the only solution you will ever need. Our only guidance is not a path, but just some components of recovery taken from consensus of both peers and professionals.

Person-Centered Recovery
Explore our empowering core ideals and concepts.
Empowerment Path
Supportive environment for your self-empowerment journey in recovery. We support each other, we do not direct each other.
Confidential Support
Your privacy is our priority. Please advocate for yourself and others, be your recovery. Although we differ from other recovery outlets as not caring if you disclose your diagnosis and recovery, we do hold confidentiality as a core responsibility. What is said here, stays here. We do not “out” others for living with a Substance Use Disorder, or current substance use. No is the baseline for all consent in SUDA. Stigma among peers is very real. We are a safe haven for all who seek recovery.
Compassionate Community
Join a welcoming and understanding community. We support what you want for your recovery, not what any philosophy, institution, or other person may want.
Stigma-Free Approach
Redefining recovery without stigmatizing labels. We do not or will not ever endorse a set of parameters for what qualifies as recovery. We do not know what is best for you, you do. We will help you through our experience and support. We openly admit that recovery is not about perfection, but progress and quality of life. This comes in as many forms as there are people on Earth. Welcome to a new day looking at SUD and recovery in SUDA.
Healthy Boundaries
In SUDA the focus is on personal growth over labels. We need a supportive person centered environment. We are a consent based community that functions on healthy boundaries with the substances and people in our lives. We do this through committing to the Principles of Responsibility.
