Who We Are
RISE (Recovery Initiatives Supporting Everyone) is a mobile outreach vehicle that travels throughout Northampton County offering access to addiction and recovery services face-to-face with community members. RISE also aids community members in educating and providing information on county resources to those who want it.
RISE and the Northampton County Drug & Alcohol Division partners with various local organizations and providers in an effort to combat the Opioid Epidemic.

RISE strives to meet individuals where they are, offering resources, connections to essential services, and a safe space that fosters hope and healing. Together, RISE seeks to create a community of resilience, encouraging personal growth and long-lasting recovery journeys.
Our Vision
RISE envisions a community where recovery from substance use disorder is understood, promoted, embraced and enjoyed and where all who seek recovery have access to the support, care and resources needed to achieve long-term recovery.
