Our core Focus:
Peer Support.
We are peer supporters - people with lived experience in recovery
sharing hope, empowering renewal and supporting recovery.
Our Services
CVAB offers a variety of services to support you on your recovery journey. Our services are led and developed by peers. Services are offered free of charge and with little or no time constraints.
The REACH CEnter
The REACH Center in Vancouver is a safe and sober environment open to anyone wanting to participate in a recovery-based supportive community. We offer a variety of groups and activities to support you in your recovery.
Val Ogden Center
The VOC focuses on furthering your employment and educational goals. Mental health and substance use struggles can often make it difficult to transition back into education or employment settings and the VOC team will support you achieving your goals.
REACH Too
REACH Too provides peer support services to people seeking recovery from substance use. REACH Too expands CVAB’s reach to participants involved with the criminal justice system, this includes Clark County Therapeutic Courts (Drug Court, Family Treatment Court, Substance Abuse Court, and DOSA) and Clark County Jail Reentry that are seeking recovery through life skills development and positive social activities.
The Warm Line
The Warm Line is based in Vancouver and operates every evening. There are times when you just need to talk to someone, to let off some steam, or sort through your day. We listen and offer reassurance that you have been heard and things can be better. (360.903.2853)
Housing and Recovery Peer Services (HARPS)
HARPS assist individuals in finding and maintaining a safe and affordable place to live while promoting personal growth and wellness. HARPS supports are non-clinical, because we draw on common experiences as peers to provide empowerment, guidance and encouragement to take responsibility and actively participate in recovery.
Peer Bridger Team
The goal of Peer Bridging is to offer support to peers who are transitioning from inpatient settings back into their community. A Peer Bridger develops rapport with a person preparing to leave treatment and return to a healthy life in their community as they share hope and encouragement.
