Learn More About Recovery Cafe Lowell
From the very beginning Recovery Cafe Lowell has been honored to partner with a wide array of individuals and service providers to build support and access to resources for our Members.
For providers who would like to learn more about our services the best option is to contact our Director of Peer Support Services, Rich Hollett.
Case Managers
For Case Managers who are seeking to enroll their customers in Membership, there are a few important things to keep in mind. A person needs to be capable of giving and receiving verbal information to qualify for Membership. If a person’s mental illness is more acute than that, Recovery Cafe Lowell is not properly equipped to serve the person and we suggest you contact Riverbend.
The best way to learn about Recovery Cafe Lowell and take the first step toward Membership is to come to the Café and be our guest for the day. Case Managers and family members are welcome to accompany prospective Members.
If a person decides during their “guest” day that they would like to become a Member, they can sign up for New Member Orientation at that time. The only way a person becomes a Member is to attend a New Member Orientation. The person must sign up in person here at 20 Williams St, Lowell, MA 01852. Case Managers cannot sign another up for New Member Orientation. Case Managers may accompany her/his customer to the Orientation if desired.
Recovery Cafe Lowell’s community is enriched by the principle that everyone here wants to be here. Therefore, we ask various programs (such as Drug Court) not to mandate attendance at Recovery Cafe Lowell. We encourage you to refer people but ask that you not make membership a requirement.
Recovery Circles
Recovery Cafe Lowell currently provides Recovery Circles at our location 20 Williams St, Lowell, MA 01852. If this is something you would like to have provided at your housing or program location please contact our Director of Peer Support Services, Rich Hollett.
Sharing What Services You Offer
We are always delighted to have one of our partners share their gifts, such as legal services, employment, and so on. We have found that a five-minute presentation to the community during lunch (at 12:45pm) is an effective way to reach our Members. If you would like to do this please contact us with your proposal.
Community Service Hours
Recovery Cafe Lowell is a place for people who need to complete community service hours. For more information, contact us.
Currently Recovery Cafe Lowell does not provide drug and alcohol assessments, case management, treatment, or housing. For those services we suggest you contact Riverbend.
