Chapter Life
Welcome to the YPR-Durango chapter, established in September 2017, our chapter has grown to have a decent size group of Recovery driven individuals. We are here as a resource and community for people of all ages, pathways of recovery and walk of life to be welcomed and celebrated. We are here to enhance your journey with multiple ways to get involved and get to know us. We can’t wait to meet you.
At YPR, we envision a world where all people have the resources they need to thrive in recovery from addiction to drugs and alcohol. All of YPR’s recovery support services are offered free to people in or seeking recovery and allies to the recovery community.
Events include:
