Recovery Beyond

Recovery Beyond served participants in 2 counties, King and Pierce, as well as expanding into the virtual realm. Participants were between the ages of 19-65+, with the majority of participants in the 35-44 range. There was an even split between male and female participants, with none reporting as non-binary. Diversity has been a focus in 2022, with the formation of a DEI Committee and participants representing the following populations: 5% Asian American, 5% Latinx, 6% Black/African American, 3% American Indian/Alaska Native, 5% Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander, 5% transitioning out of incarceration, and 9% experiencing homelessness. Recovery Beyond provides regular outdoor/healthy lifestyle activities (bouldering, hiking, kayaking, bicycling, etc.); monthly community events (archery, skateboarding, trampoline park, high ropes course, etc.); seasonal challenges (scavenger hunt, campout, Tough Mudder); and the Annual expedition (e.g. a week-long sea kayaking trip around the San Juan Islands. These are all provided in tandem with recovery curriculum and with the program "Pathways to Recovery." RB also has a contingency management program (incentive structure), which encourages participants to remain engaged in the community, help decrease barriers for others, be an ambassador for the organization, and become motivated to attain goals.
