Behavioral Health Services Community Organized Recovery Efforts (CORE)

This is an opportunity to be part of a new, cutting edge model working with individuals recovering from substance abuse disorders.

CORE is seeking volunteers to work in the following areas:

• Recovery Coach - Persons with experience and knowledge of addictions guiding and mentoring people seeking or active in recovery
• Telephone Recovery Support - Making follow-up phone contacts with participants of the ROSC program to offer support and provide information on ROSC functions
• Recovery Center Support - Participate in running recovery center activities, classes, groups, social functions, and providing administrative support
• Special Events - Participate in planning and working at special events for CORE participants

If interested, please send an email to CORE@FrederickCountyMD.gov or call 301-600-3289.
