We are thrilled to announce we have added two new members to our team. 💜💜

Please join us in welcoming Michelle and Seth!

Seth will be joining us as a full-time, center-based Recovery Coach. Stop on in and meet him! He’s a wonderful person, with an incredible story of resilience and determination. We know he will be a tremendous support to the recovery community. 💜

Michelle was on our team in the past as our Office Manager and was incredibly competent. Her warmth, humor and enthusiasm helped the center so much. We were so sad when she moved away and are beyond grateful she is back. In her new role, she’ll be working part-time in the Emergency Department and on-site at the Department of Children and Families in our Parents Program. 💜

We are beyond pleased to welcome them both to our team. 💜💜

We are so fortunate to live in a state where collaboration works so effectively. All the Recovery Centers state-wide collaborate with each other. We also collaborate closely with our funders at the state and countless community partners. Vermont is small but mighty and we are grateful to be part of such a powerful community 💜

Are you supporting someone who’s impacted by substance use?

We have just the group for you! Open Hearts is a peer-support group for loved ones of those struggling with a substance use disorder. People ij this group understand as they have been through it themselves.

Starting tomorrow, this group is moving to 6pm to hopefully accommodate more people’s work schedules.

You are not alone! We are here to support you 💜

Happy Friday! It’s that time again: dinner and an All Recovery meeting!

This is a great opportunity to connect with the community, share a meal, then give your recovery a boost before the weekend!

We appreciate this collaboration with Hedding Chuch and hope to see you there!

The addition on our new building is all framed up! 🥳

Watching the progress is so exciting. It’s all coming together, one step at a time. It truly feels symbolic of recovery: taking a building that was falling apart and vacant. Renovating and restoring it so it can once again give back to the community. Sounds so similar to substance use recovery…

We can’t wait to offer an open-house and big celebration to welcome the community in to our new home. Stay tuned for details in the coming months 💜

Thank you to Robert Purvis for your vision. It is an honor to help guide it to the finish line.

Thank you to Chip Castle and Paul Dettman who work tirelessly to make sure this project is a success. We appreciate you both so much!

Today is Recovery Day in Vermont, bringing with it the opportunity to celebrate the many Vermonters who are in long-term recovery, and to offer hope and support for those seeking help. Today over 280 people in person and many others on-line, attended a Recovery Day celebration hosted by the Vermont Association of Mental Health and Addiction Recovery to highlight efforts made to increase access to recovery resources, to share stories, and remind everyone that no one needs to struggle alone.

Remember, recovery is not only possible, but probable, and the key is connection and community. If you or someone you know is in need of support, the VT Helplink https://vthelplink.org/ is a great place to start.

Recovery Day 2026 has been incredibly inspiring. Thank you to The Vermont Association for Mental Health and Addiction Recovery for planning such a powerful day of celebration and hope. Thank you to everyone that helped plan, presented, attended and supported this incredible day.

TPCCV represented in person and virtually and it helped renew our commitment to supporting anyone who’s seeking recovery from a substance use disorder 💜

Today is Recovery Day! We hope to see you there! If you’re in Barre and not able to make it in person, we will be streaming it at the center at 17 Ayers street in Barre and we invite you to come watch with us 💜

Recovery doesn’t belong to one field.

It belongs to healthcare.
Education.
Housing.
Justice.
Families.
Communities.

Recovery Day is a reminder that when we stop working in silos, people don’t fall through the cracks.

Be part of the collective. Join us for Recovery Day.
