Recovery 918 works to reduce the harm that substance use, including opioid use, causes in our rural communities. We connect people in Cherokee and Delaware counties with treatment, including medication for opioid use disorder, with recovery resources, and with prevention. We also offer training so that more people in our community know how to help.
