Volusia Recovery Alliance

What Volusia Recovery Alliance does

Volusia Recovery Alliance (VRA) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit Recovery Community Organization founded in 2019 and headquartered in Daytona Beach, Florida, with operational presence in Ormond Beach, Port Orange, and surrounding Volusia County. The organization coordinates peer-driven services for individuals and families affected by substance use disorder, anchored by a team of Certified Recovery Peer Specialists (CRPS) with lived experience. VRA operates four flagship programs — Building First Responder Resilience (BFRR), FIRE Recovery Group (fathers in recovery), Roots of Recovery (families), and H.E.A.L.-VCOA (risk reduction) — alongside a training portfolio covering Peer Recovery Coach certification, WRAP Seminars I/II, SUD 101, Motivational Interviewing, Parent Café Host Training, Peer Supervision, and a SAMHSA-developed pregnant/parenting families workshop.

The organization distributes Naloxone through free training, 24/7 vending machines, and ONEbox emergency kits, and maintains a referral network linking clients to FARR-certified recovery residences, Oxford House properties, and clinical treatment partners. VRA holds CAPRSS certification as a Recovery Community Organization, the only formal credentials/standards signal disclosed. Technology stack is minimal: no proprietary platforms, mobile apps, or APIs are in evidence; operations rely on standard CRM/office tooling, a Facebook/Instagram presence, and an email newsletter.

Revenue is derived from three streams: tax-deductible donations (the largest disclosed channel, with Florida Department of Agriculture approval for solicitation of contributions, Tax ID 84-2207501), government grants from the Volusia County Opioid Abatement Board (OA2), Florida Department of Children and Families, and the Office of Substance Abuse and Mental Health, plus a foundational AETNA Foundation grant; and modest training program fees operating on a suggested-donation basis ($75 for WRAP Seminar I, $100 for Recovery Coach Training). Pricing for core peer support services is free, with scholarships available. The go-to-market is community-led and event-driven, anchored by annual events (Recovery Awareness Walk, Keeping Hope Overdose Awareness & Remembrance Day in its 8th year) and a network of healthcare, law enforcement, and recovery residence partners across the county.
