Organization Provides Support For Addiction And Recovery
Dora Wright and her husband started the Chicago Recovering Communities Coalition in 2012 out of the need for addiction support services on the West side of Chicago. Their goal was to put a face to recovery with a vision to help people with active addictions. Wright herself has been in recovery for 38 years. Growing up on the West side, she said she left her community in search of addiction support and recovery programs because she wasn’t aware of any that existed in the community.
