Anawim Housing and Des Moines non-profit The Beacon have entered into a partnership to maximize expertise and capacity for serving individuals with substance use disorders. The result is the Full Circle Recovery Community Center (Full Circle RCC): an independent, non-profit organization led and governed by representatives of local communities in recovery. Full Circle RCC will support expanding pathways to recovery for people who use substances and will function as a recovery resource for the local community. Utilizing peer-based recovery support services, Full Circle RCC will utilize evidenced based practices, public education and policy advocacy to achieve its mission. Full Circle Recovery Community Center is not a treatment center. It offers emotional, informational and practical supports for individuals and families who are affected by substance misuse.
