Our Mission
Westcoast Recovery Outreach Society is dedicated to helping individuals overcome addiction through compassionate guidance, resources, and support.
Through street outreach, one-on-one connections, and advocacy, we assist people in accessing detox, treatment, and recovery programs.
Our mission is to empower individuals on their journey to recovery and to create pathways toward lasting change within our community.
Support That Brought Me Home
Westcoast Recovery found me at my lowest point. I was homeless with nowhere to go, and I had thoughts of taking the easy way out. Then I met Teresa. She pulled me off the street, got me into a safe shelter, and worked on getting me into treatment. I completed 90 days in treatment and was able to come home to my family. I just wanna say thank you to Teresa and her team — they are the best.
