About Us: About

CDRC is the Capital Region's premier recovery center, providing support services to help individuals and families overcome addiction and rebuild their lives.

Our Mission & Vision

The mission of the Capital District Recovery Center

Our goal at CDRC is to create a welcoming place where people can find help and support on their recovery journey. We offer a variety of services in one location, including:

  • 12-Step meetings

  • Support groups for families and friends

  • Workshops and trainings for personal growth

  • Recovery coach training

We believe that by providing these services in one place, we can help people in the Capital District recover more effectively.

CDRC's vision is a community where everyone, regardless of their background, has the opportunity to recover and improve their lives. We aim to provide recovery-oriented services that support people on their journey to a better future.

The Capital District Recovery Center (CDRC) is a non-profit organization established in 2015, serving the community since July 2018. We offer a range of recovery services, including peer support, training, and workshops, to over 82 individuals daily. Our team of staff, volunteers, and partners collaborates to provide support, promote well-being, and raise awareness within the community.

How does the Capital District Recovery Center (CDRC) fit into the context of the continuum of addiction care?

  • CDRC provides a safe, affordable, substance-free meeting space for 12-Step and other recovery-oriented groups, individuals, and their families whose lives have been adversely affected by addiction.

  • CDRC is a no-insurance or flex-cost, non-clinical support service for individuals impacted by substance use conditions. CDRC might also be known as a recovery clubhouse or support and resource center.

  • CDRC helps build “recovery capital” by providing resources within oneself and the community to sustain long-term recovery. We’re open 365 days a year, welcoming everyone, including family members and allies.
