Addiction Recovery Education Access Services

MOAR has set up A.R.E.A.S., as an educational support system for the recovery community.

We have learned that advocacy and reducing stigma begins with offering support to people who fear speaking up because they may be viewed as "bad" - and feel intimidated by and/or do not know how to get help.

MOAR first created the A.R.E.A.S curriculum over 20 years ago and continues to revise it on a regular basis. The program is peer led and driven by participating members who choose the topic order. It was designed to strengthen participation in recovery and relapse prevention. The curriculum provides information about common practical problems faced by people in recovery and helps to connect people to the appropriate resources. The goal of A.R.E.A.S. is to give support and leadership development for people to become involved with MOAR in a personal and meaningful way.
