Who we are…

Ripple Effect PRSC is a safe, welcoming place where visitors can investigate unlimited styles of recovery while creating their personalized vision of the future. The center brings people together around social events and activities with the goal of providing recovery experiences outside the norm.

As a Peer Recovery Support Center, Ripple Effect provides peer support and creates community around shared experiences.

We strive to be a welcoming space grounded in the values and principles of recovery and reflective of multiple pathways to recovery. We believe that our members need and deserve human connection, community inclusion and access to nonclinical resources. We can achieve these goals through education, social events, recreational as well as wellness activities, and one-on-one peer support.

Ripple Effect is a program of GAAMHA, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.
Supported by the Bureau of Substance Addiction Services (BSAS).
