Peer recovery organizations generally, though not always, refer to an independent center that address mental health and substance use without a clinical or medical intervention. They provide services such as coaching, support groups, resource navigation for housing and employment, social events, etc. They’re typically more involved in everyday life than a treatment center, which mainly delivers government-regulated and approved healthcare services.
The Center for Addiction Recovery Support (CARS) is a program run by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, a U.S. government federal agency. The directory they maintain contains, as of August 2026, centers across the country, including some territories like Guam. There is both an interactive search tool available on their website that allows filtering by organization type and location, as well as a PDF containing a spreadsheet with similar information.
