Our Story

Prior to founding Recovery Resources in 2016, Janelle Duhon was working in the local Detox Center, she had a homeless client who made a lasting impression. He had such an amazingly positive view of life despite his struggles of being constantly in and out of the Detox Center. Although he was homeless, he would often send random pizza deliveries to the Detox Center or he would call just to say, ‘Has anyone wished you well today?’. His positivity, despite the physical illness and long-term effects of addiction he experienced, inspired Janelle to continue offering Detox services and to build out the current Recovery Resources suite of programs for comprehensive addiction treatment. She knew that building a full life when recovering from addiction requires more than just detoxification. Janelle’s vision has taken two paths - 

1. Connecting people with resources in the community 

   AND

2. Providing a suite of services through Recovery Resources

In the first year Recovery Resources only offered Detoxification and Drug Testing Services. Next we started offering DUI Services. Through the experience of watching some people relapse and others recover, our team has responded to the needs of clients and has developed a comprehensive suite of programs for developing life skills and supporting long-term sobriety. Today Recovery Resources services include DUI Services, Equine Assisted Learning, the Family Engagement Program, Pretrial Services, Drug Testing, the Community Service Program (UPS) and, not least of them, the Unsheltered Outreach Program. 

Recovery Resources’ Core Value ‘Fresh Eyes: Provide compassion to everyone we are in contact with.’ underlies all of the services we provide. We are proud to say that our clients’ rates of recovery are higher than the national average with 30-55% maintaining sobriety for 90 days or going onto an inpatient treatment program in that timeframe. People may try over and over to end the cycle of addiction. This time might just be the time that they are ready and able to do it!
