The Long Island Recovery Association (LIRA) is a grassroots organization dedicated to advocating for the rights of individuals in recovery from addiction-related illnesses, as well as those seeking help. Founded in 2000, LIRA aims to give a voice and visible presence to the Long Island recovery community, working to educate decision makers, policy leaders, and the wider community to reduce negative perceptions surrounding Substance Use Disorders and promote mutual understanding.
LIRA is committed to building a bridge of understanding between individuals in recovery, their families, and those seeking a pathway to recovery that accurately reflects the available resources and community needs. As a recovery community organization, LIRA actively advocates for equal treatment and fights against discriminatory policies that hinder the progress of those in recovery. With a focus on education, events, and recovery coaching, LIRA strives to change the way the world sees people in recovery and create a supportive environment for all.
