Asians in Recovery is a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering the AAPI community to overcome substance use through mentorship, culturally appropriate education, and access to essential resources.
We are committed to breaking the stigma surrounding substance use and fostering a world where it is met with understanding, dignity, and compassion.
Our aim is to strengthen AAPI individuals and families to foster open conversations, build lasting change, and achieve sustainable recovery.
