RISE UP Recovery started as a grass-roots nonprofit organization in Hastings, MN. Founder, Tiffany and her husband Chad both in long term recovery began to notice significant gaps with the substance use disorder services available in their community. Tiffany, working as a counselor, and Chad knowing many people in the community experiencing active symptoms; often came up empty handed with people seeking help. The services that support and promote long-term recovery were simply not there. This inspired them through their deep faith and passion for recovery to be a part of the solution. RISE UP Recovery is founded on Christian principles and believes that recovery is possible for everyone. Our aim is to make that a reality within our community. We strive to decrease overall stigma around substance use disorders and give recoverees a voice, hope and the respect every human deserves. We are highly invested in each recoveree and believe in "raising up" leadership as they are able to give back and share the hope and healing they have found on their personal recovery journeys.
