KACo webinar recap: Spotlight on recovery community centers

By Sydney Blodgett, Member Engagement Manager
Panelists share insights into challenges and successes of opioid recovery

The June 2025 edition of KACo’s opioid solutions webinar series focused on the crucial role a recovery community center (RCC) can play in supporting individuals with opioid use disorder. Counties can use opioid settlement funds to support RCCs, which offer holistic recovery services.
