Learn how Advocates for Opioid Recovery is fighting for opioid use disorder survivors and co-survivors.
What we do
The goal of Advocates for Opioid Recovery (AOR) is to support survivors and co-survivors of opioid use disorder (OUD). We aim to break down barriers to science-based, evidence-based treatment and support systems that can reduce death and suffering from opioid addiction and produce more long-term opioid addiction survivors who are positively engaged in their families and communities.
