Recovery is Possible

The faces and stories of recovery

Most Americans know someone who has been impacted by addiction, but there is hope and we are here to help. Whether you are looking for resources to support your own recovery, looking for inspiration, or just want to learn more about how you can support the recovery movement, take a look at some of the things that the Tech Together companies are doing to help support your journey.

Looking for virtual resources to help support your recovery?

The need for CDC-recommended "social distancing" in response to the COVID-19 health crisis can have a significant impact on people in recovery from addiction. So that people in recovery can still access critical recovery support groups, Google worked with Transforming Youth Recovery to identify a list of online support group options. We have compiled a short list of virtual resources below. Please refer to each meeting group for best practices on how to maintain anonymity (if desired) during virtual meetings.

The Partnership for Drugfree-Kids has online resources available for parents and families, and has also launched a text-based COVID support program that provides messages on how to help yourself and your loved one during these challenging times. Unity Recovery, WEconnect, Alano Club of Portland, and SOS Recovery Organization have partnered to offer daily online recovery support groups for individuals and families-and all of these groups also have an active Twitter presence. These meetings are non-denominational, agnostic to any specific recovery pathway, and are open to anyone. Learn more at: https://unityrecovery.org/digital-recovery-meetings. To join the conversations on Twitter, visit: Unity Recovery, WEconnect, Alano Club of Portland, and SOS Recovery Organization.

Whether it’s offering crisis support over Facebook Messenger, hosting a Facebook Live support session or connecting through a Facebook Group, the community is coming together to support those who are struggling.

Facebook Stop Opioid Silence Campaign

Facebook Stop Opioid Silence Campaign

Facebook has teamed up with the Partnership for Drug-Free Kids + Center on Addiction to launch the Stop Opioid Silence (SOS) campaign, a national public awareness campaign aimed at breaking down the stigma and shame associated with opioid use disorders. Over half of all Americans know someone affected by the opioid crisis, yet only a quarter of people get the treatment they need. Oftentimes it is the stigma of addiction that stands in the way. SOS features stories of hope, loss and recovery, which we hope will help people realize they are not alone and inspire others to break their silence, share their stories with each other, a medical professional, or family and friends, and eventually get the help that they need.

The campaign features 12 individuals from across America who have been impacted by the opioid crisis, either personally or through a loved one, and illustrates that no matter who you are or where you are from, this disease has no boundaries and leaves no one unscathed. Visit stopopioidsilence.org to learn more, and click below to watch a compilation of the stories.

Facebook also wants to make sure that people get the help they need. If you type “SOS” in a Facebook message to the Partnership For Drug Free Kids, they’ll automatically share links to information about addiction and resources in your community.
