Your Recovery Solutions (YRS) began in 2015 as a loosely organized group of individuals sharing options and opportunities to improve access to and outcomes of care for persons with substance use disorders (SUD), mainly related to opioids and/or alcohol, in the borderland of southwest New Mexico. We met and planned ways to improve organizations and systems for SUD. The original committee members were dedicated to harm reduction principles and any policies, processes or practices to lessen the negative or dangerous consequences of drug or alcohol use without requiring absolute abstinence or complete substance cessation. We viewed ourselves as SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURS, desiring to do both good and well. We believe in everyone’s ability to experience hope, healing, and health when properly informed, educated, and supported.
In October 2018 we became formally associated with the Amador Health Center for a SAMHSA/CSAT federal funding award – Grant for the Benefit of Homeless Individuals (GBHI). The lessons learned and promising practices from this five-year grant form the foundation of our Recovery Support Services (RSS) today at Amador.
