💚 About Recovery Cafe Lexington

Recovery Cafe Lexington: A peer-led, peer-run community space for individuals to build recovery relationships and find supportive resources. We aren’t the type of café that sells sandwiches or lattes: we're a gathering space for folks on a recovery journey and our allies. We celebrate every type and pathway of recovery (substance use, mental health, housing insecurity, and more). No matter the need, we have resources to help: whether you or someone you know is in long-term recovery or contemplating making a change. We invite anyone to attend a support group, a sober social event, or see a Recovery Coach who can help guide through unique challenges. A new life is waiting for you!

🌈 Our Vision

Vision: To empower people in their own recovery with a welcoming community-driven sanctuary to connect with one another, heal, feel accepted, loved, and worthy of success in their life.
