RECOVERY CAFE LEXINGTON is a peer-led, peer-run community space for individuals to build recovery relationships and find supportive resources.

No matter the need, we have resources to help; whether you or someone you know is in long-term recovery or contemplating making a change. We invite anyone to attend a support group, a sober social event, or see a Recovery Coach who can help be a guide through unique challenges. A new life is waiting for you!

OUR VISION To empower people in their own recovery with a welcoming community driven sanctuary to connect with one another, heal, feel accepted, loved, and worthy of success in their life.

OUR GUIDING PRINCIPLES 1.Connect with divine Love in ourselves and others, 2. Show Respect 3. Cultivate Compassion, 4. Practice Forgiveness, 5. Encourage Growth, 6. Give Back
