The RASE Project is a 501 (c) 3, non-profit, charitable organization. RASE is a Recovery Community Organization, which means that it is comprised entirely of staff and volunteers from the Recovery Community and it exists to serve the Recovery Community. Recovery Community is defined as: any person in, or seeking recovery, their families, close friends and other loved ones. The RASE Project stands for Recovery, Advocacy, Service and Empowerment, and exists to reduce the stigma associated with the disease of addiction as well as offering support in the process of recovery. Our mission is to assist all those individuals affected by substance use issues, problems and concerns by fostering progress, enriching lives, and ultimately enhancing the recovery process.

We offer multiple programs that all work closely with the criminal justice system. In particular, we have full-time Recovery Specialists that work hand in hand with Dauphin County’s Drug Court Program. Participants in the Recovery Specialist Program are paired with a Recovery Specialist who works side by side with them as peer support and a recovery coach. We offer recovery service planning unique to our agency. The RSP facilitates change and instills hope. We are dedicated to helping others build self-esteem, increase good decision making skills, re-build families and empower participants to become productive and active members of society. The RASE Project believes that every individual is unique and special and deserves the opportunity to recover. Referrals for the RSP go directly to our Lebanon office. For more information on the RSP or to schedule an intake please call 717-277-7400.

In addition to the RSP, RASE offers residential services for men and women. This transitional housing program includes individuals in the criminal justice system. We ask for a minimum commitment of 6 months so these individuals can recreate their lives free from active addiction. Each house has its own Residential Coordinator. RASE House programming is designed to assist each resident achieve the following objectives: sustained recovery, permanent full-time employment, understanding and possession of bank accounts, and the necessary skills needed to navigate through life successfully. RASE House encourages the residents to reach these objectives by utilizing the following tools: daily 12-Step meeting attendance, weekly Recovery 101 groups, weekly Life Skills classes, appropriate referral to necessary ancillary services, recovery plan development, house meetings, supervision and weekly contacts. We believe that it is essential for the residents at RASE House to examine all aspects of their lives and to replace old negative behaviors with new positive ones to achieve ongoing recovery and success.
