Recovery Community Organization (RCO) in Duval and Nassau Counties

A recovery community organization (RCO) is an independent, non-profit organization led and governed by representatives of local communities of recovery. These organizations organize recovery-focused policy advocacy activities, carry out recovery-focused community education and outreach programs, and/or provide peer-based recovery support services (P-BRSS). The broadly defined recovery community – people in long-term recovery, their families, friends, and allies, including recovery-focused addiction and recovery professionals – includes organizations whose members reflect religious, spiritual and secular pathways of recovery. The sole mission of an RCO is to mobilize resources within and outside of the recovery community to increase the prevalence and quality of long-term recovery from alcohol and other drug addictions. Public education, policy advocacy and peer-based recovery support services are the strategies through which this mission is achieved (Valentine, White, & Taylor, 2007).

Available funding is a combination of Opioid Settlement and State Opioid Response (SOR) funds. The requirement for these funds includes:

• RCOs must support individuals in substance use recovery.
• Funds may be utilized for operational startup costs and ongoing services including outreach, information and referral, recovery support, and incidental expenses for client incentives for completion of the required SAMHSA’s Unified Performance Reporting Tool (SUPRT).
  • These services can be flexibly staged and may be provided prior to, during, and after treatment. They are designed to support and coach an adult or child and family to regain or develop skills to live, work, and learn successfully in the community. Funds may also be used for medical services and medication assisted treatment, however, this only applies to RCOs that use the hub and spoke model where RCOs are paying data waivered primary care that are providing medication.

RCO’s must follow the requirements outlined in the following documents, in addition to the LSF Standard Contract – FY 26-27 and its attachments and exhibits listed on the “Resources –> Contract Documents” page of this website – https://lsfhealthsystems.org/resources/#contractdocuments:
