Helios Recovery Recognizes that the drug war and antiquated, iatrogenic, punitive addiction treatment methods have created disempowered experiences and services. This experience is especially true for Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC)/LGBTQQIA+ and other abled people’s bodies, minds, and spirits.
We are committed to developing/providing culturally responsive and effective recovery supports to create a collective path forward to challenge racial/gender/orientation, ability privilege culture, and the devastation it has wrought inside and outside the recovery community.

The sun's daily rise profoundly affirms transformation and a fresh start each day. At Helios Recovery Services, we draw inspiration from this elemental power. Our name, Helios, connects to the Greek sun god of vitality and renewal. Our emblem, the hydrogen atom, embodies the sun's core composition and fuels its immense energy and continuous transformation. Through specialized training and discerning consulting, we equip leaders with essential skills, the building blocks of transformation. We empower core change within individuals and organizations in Recovery Support Services and Behavioral Health. Those who enter into orbit with us gain heightened capacity to illuminate challenging paths for others, becoming an elemental force for tangible hope and lasting change.
