At Burke Recovery, our commitment to the community goes beyond treatment services. We actively engage in community outreach, education, and prevention initiatives to address substance use and promote a healthier Burke County. Our Community Engagement programs are designed to educate, empower, and protect our citizens through a range of training, prevention, and harm reduction efforts.
The APS Program provides education to students experiencing school, peer, and family problems related directly, or indirectly, to alcohol and/or other substance use. Through referrals made by school administrators the A.P.S. Coordinator promotes healthy drug-free lifestyles by helping students develop the coping skills and positive self-esteem they need to successfully move from adolescence to adulthood.
Project Toward No Drugs is a school-based prevention program aimed at reducing the onset of substance use among young people. The program uses evidence-based strategies to educate students about the dangers of vaping, tobacco, drugs and alcohol, enhance their decision-making skills, and promote positive peer influences. Through engaging activities and discussions, students learn to resist the pressures of substance use and build a foundation for a healthy future.
In addition to its educational components, Project Towards No Drugs plays a critical role in broader community prevention efforts. The program extends beyond schools to reach parents, educators, and community leaders, providing them with the tools and knowledge to support substance use prevention in various settings.
The School Intervention Program (SCIP) is designed to identify and support students at risk of substance use. By intervening early, SCIP helps prevent the escalation of substance use and related problems.

In the journey of recovery, striving for progress rather than perfection is essential. “Progress Not Perfection” is a principle that encourages individuals to focus on their growth and improvement, recognizing that perfection is an unrealistic and often discouraging goal.
Recovery is not just a possibility; it is a reality for countless individuals who have struggled with addiction. “We Do Recover” is a powerful affirmation that acknowledges the journey of healing and growth that is possible through dedication, support, and the right resources.
Recovery is a deeply personal and transformative process. It often begins with admitting the need for help and taking the courageous step to seek treatment. At our facility, we provide a safe and nurturing environment where individuals can embark on their recovery journey with confidence and hope.
Through comprehensive treatment programs that include therapy, counseling, and support groups, we address the physical, emotional, and psychological aspects of addiction. Our holistic approach ensures that everyone receives personalized care tailored to their unique needs.
“We Do Recover” is more than a statement; it is a testament to the resilience and strength of the human spirit. It is a reminder that with perseverance, support, and the right mindset, recovery is not just a dream but a lived reality. Our community is a testament to this truth, with countless success stories that inspire and uplift.
Join us on this journey of recovery and discover the strength within you. Together, we can overcome addiction and build a future filled with hope, health, and happiness.
