Mission and vision
Remove the barriers, break the stigma
At Recovery Epicenter Foundation, our mission is to remove barriers to sustainable recovery by offering diverse, peer-to-peer support services for individuals in recovery, their families, and the community.
As people in active recovery ourselves, our vision is to break the stigma of addiction through education, training, and the development of Recovery Ecosystems that support everyone's ability to achieve their personal recovery goals.
What we do
Peer-led, from the street to the doorstep

Our story

Founded in 2014 and a 501(c)(3) since 2015, Recovery Epicenter Foundation began by raising standards in sober living homes across Tampa Bay — and grew into Peer Respite beds, street outreach, Narcan saturation and statewide advocacy.
