We have lived it, and we will walk alongside you.

Sage’s Army employs a team of Certified Recovery Specialists (CRS) and Certified Family Recovery Specialists (CFRS) who deliver recovery support services to individuals and family members/loved ones. Recovery support services involve the process of giving and receiving non-clinical assistance to support long-term recovery from substance use disorders or to support a family member or loved one of someone with a substance use disorder. A CRS or CFRS brings the lived experience of recovery, combined with training through the Pennsylvania Certification Board and supervision, to assist others in initiating and maintaining recovery, helping to enhance the quality of personal and family life in long-term recovery. Recovery support services can support or be an alternative to clinical treatment for substance use disorders.

Recovery Specialists walk side by side with individuals seeking recovery from substance use disorders and/or their family members and loved ones. They help people to create their own recovery plans, and develop their own recovery pathways. Recovery plans and other supports are customized, and build on each individual’s strengths, needs, and recovery goals. The unique relationship between the recovery specialist and the individual or family member/loved one is grounded in trust, and focused on providing the person with tools, resources, and support to achieve long-term recovery.
