Welcome to APC Recovery Cafe, where we discuss topics and trends around substance use, provide resources and education, offer recovery support, and discuss prevention tactics all through the lens of the stories of people who have been there.
Substance use disorder touches all of our lives and often we feel frustrated or hopeless in our pursuit to understand why and how it happens.We invite you to grab your favorite coffee or tea and join us for a variety of guests that will bring understanding, information, connection and HOPE.
