About Us - snapbacknc.org

Our mission for SnapBack NC, Co. is to change the stigma of the population that struggles with substance use, alcoholism, and mental illness. We aim to bridge the gap between the individual and the needed support for them and their families. We provide peer support community resources through support groups, therapeutic services, and educational workshops. We are also working with the community to connect the family to other resources such as employment, and continuing education. We link individuals to higher levels of care if needed, for inpatient treatment, sober living transitions, psychiatric medication management, etc. SnapBack NC, Co. works with the individual and their family on long-term treatment plans through person-centered goals utilizing a peer support approach by individuals that understand firsthand and can help the family navigate the journey of recovery.
