Taking care of your health is part of your recovery. Regular checkups, medications, and preventive care can help you stay healthy and address problems before they become obstacles.

If you need help keeping food on the metaphorical table, food banks and pantries are here for those moments. Below, you’ll find food resources in your local counties so you can focus on your recovery without worrying about where your next meal will come from.

Your next step in recovery is easier when your basic needs are met. Take advantage of these programs when you need them; use the resources available to you to keep showing up, stay grounded, and build a stronger foundation for recovery.
Everyone needs a way to get to work, buy groceries, make appointments, and attend recovery meetings. Transportation is part of taking responsibility for your recovery.
If you don’t have a vehicle or money is tight, here are a few free or low-cost transportation options to help you get where you need to be.
Progress happens as you get where you need to go. Reliable transportation helps you stay consistent with the commitments that support your recovery.
If you need reliable transportation without the high cost, these car-share programs can help you find an affordable ride as you get back on your feet. It’s one more way to stay on track, get where you need to go, and keep moving forward.
Reliable transportation can make the difference between missing opportunities and showing up for them. The goal is to create the independence and reliability you need to keep building your recovery.
