South Florida Wellness Network

What South Florida Wellness Network does

South Florida Wellness Network is a peer-run, non-profit Recovery Community Organization (RCO) headquartered in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, providing recovery support services for substance use disorders and mental health challenges. Founded in 2014 and structured as a 501(c)(3)-style entity governed by representatives of local recovery communities, the organization serves adults, youth, families, and pregnant and parenting individuals across Broward and Miami-Dade counties through three Recovery Community Centers (RCC North in Oakland Park, RCC South, and RCC Miami-Dade).

Its service portfolio spans peer-led recovery support sessions, Individual Placement Services (IPS) for employment reintegration, Crisis Response and Diversion integrated with Community Court and Co-Responder programs, county-wide distribution of Narcan Nasal Spray Kits (over 60,000 distributed) with training, and recurring support groups and wellness activities. Programmatic scale reached 1,400+ individuals supported, 432 individuals in crisis response, and 24,000+ service interactions. The organization is funded through charitable donations via a Bloomerang CRM-hosted portal and through event sponsorships including the annual South Florida Recovery Month and the Walk for Lives initiative.

The go-to-market model is community-led: peer-driven outreach, grassroots events, crisis response partnerships with county first-responders and courts, and active social media presence on Facebook, YouTube, and Instagram. Operations rely on a small staff base (1–10 employees) supplemented by peer staff and volunteers typical of RCOs.

Direct peers

• SMART Recovery: National nonprofit offering free mutual-support meetings and self-empowering recovery programs for individuals with addictive behaviors. Comparable in providing non-12-step peer-led recovery support meetings.
• Young People in Recovery (YPR): National peer-run recovery organization focused on youth and young adults affected by substance use disorder, offering peer recovery support and community-based programming. Closely comparable to SFWN's Youth Services program.
• Connecticut Community for Addiction Recovery (CCAR): One of the longest-standing peer-run Recovery Community Organizations in the U.S., founded the RCO model and provides training, recovery support, and advocacy. Direct operating-model peer to SFWN.
• Harm Reduction Coalition: National advocacy and capacity-building organization for harm reduction services, including overdose prevention and Naloxone distribution, core activities of SFWN's Narcan Distribution Program.

Broad incumbents

• Faces & Voices of Recovery: National nonprofit advocacy organization for the recovery community, the umbrella body for Recovery Community Organizations (RCOs) like SFWN. Directly comparable in mission and peer-led model, but operates at national scope rather than regionally.
• Shatterproof: National nonprofit focused on ending addiction through advocacy, evidence-based treatment access, and family support. Competes with SFWN for philanthropic and grant funding in the SUD recovery space.
• The Recovery Village: National network of treatment facilities and telehealth services for substance use and co-occurring disorders. Operates in Florida and competes with SFWN for the same client population, though via a clinical/medical model rather than peer support.
• Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation: Large national nonprofit addiction treatment provider offering residential, outpatient, and recovery support services. Broad incumbent serving overlapping populations as SFWN but with clinical infrastructure SFWN lacks.

Regional players

• Mental Health America of Southeast Florida: Regional affiliate of Mental Health America serving Broward and Palm Beach counties with mental health and wellness programming. Directly comparable geographic footprint and overlapping population with SFWN.
• Florida Alcohol and Drug Abuse Association (FADAA): Florida statewide association representing behavioral health providers, including peer-run and recovery support organizations. Comparable in regional scope to SFWN's Florida operations.
