About The Courage Center-Richland
The Courage Center in South Carolina is a nonprofit that offers free recovery assistance led by peers for adolescents, young adults, and their families who are affected by substance use disorders. Its mission is to create a welcoming, respectful setting where people can move forward in their recovery through understanding, direction, and strategies grounded in research.
The center operates in three locations: Lexington, Richland, and Orangeburg. Together, these sites provide a range of supports such as peer recovery coaching, group meetings, and family education sessions. The programs are created to respond to the specific difficulties young people and their families face when working to overcome substance use. Through tailored support and a strong sense of community, the Courage Center helps participants gain the resources they need to make progress and sustain it.
What makes the Courage Center distinctive is its emphasis on recovery for youth and families and its efforts to reduce obstacles that prevent people from getting help. Using a peer-based approach and offering different paths to recovery, the center supports individuals in building long-term wellness. By encouraging strength and optimism, the Courage Center stands as an important resource for communities across South Carolina.
