PAARI Sanford Recovery Corps - Military Veterans

The Police Assisted Addiction and Recovery Initiative (PAARI) was founded alongside the Gloucester Police Department Angel Initiative in June 2015 and has grown into a movement of approximately 700 law enforcement partners in 46 states all implementing a non arrest pathway to treatment and access. Members of our National Recovery Corps will strengthen the ability of partnering law enforcement agencies to increase access to care and address addiction and poverty through non-arrest approaches. VISTAs will help build, strengthen, and sustain police-led programs to reduce and prevent overdose deaths and help more people with opioid use disorder get into treatment and recovery. This position will be in Sanford Maine and would check in with new units around the state and share information between them to evaluate what’s working (best practices) and not working. They will track community partnerships because so many pop up and disappear over the course of a year. They will also create a resource binder for easy access would help with community resource acquisition, analysis and tracking. Individuals with lived experience with addictions, including those who are personally in recovery, are encouraged to apply.
