Everett Recovery Café was founded on the belief that every human being is beloved regardless of past trauma, mental and emotional anguish, addictive behaviors, or mistakes made.
A Holistic Approach to Recovery
Recovery Café utilizes the Recovery Orientated System of Care (ROSC) to provide lifelong, person-centered support. Unlike traditional models that only intervene during crises — creating a costly and ineffective “relapse rollercoaster” — ROSC fosters long-term health and community belonging.
Whether an individual is in crisis or stable recovery, we provide evidence-based care to help them reclaim their worth. By prioritizing continuous support over emergency-only intervention, we save lives and public resources through a more humane, effective path to wellness.
Accountability Structures
Healing is fostered through four core pillars of support:
- Recovery Circles – Mandatory weekly peer-led groups that build self-esteem and teach relapse prevention. These circles model responsibility and prevent the isolation that often triggers substance abuse.
- The School for Recovery – Classes that address the root causes of addiction. Topics include grief, forgiveness, healthy relationships, spirituality, and creative arts.
- Volunteer opportunities – Members develop leadership and communication skills by giving back, fostering productive connections with staff and the community.
- Recovery Fellowships – We host external support programs, including CA (Cocaine Anonymous), NA (Narcotics Anonymous), AA (Alcoholics Anonymous), Al-Anon, and DRA (Dual Recovery Anonymous).
Through radical hospitality, our community provides a powerful antidote to despair, bringing out the very best in every individual.
