Our Vision

This website is a resource hub for the loved ones of our patients. On our site, you can find information about the YORS program, opioid use disorder, the medication your loved one is taking, and additional resources for families.

Our Strategy

YORS is a multi-component program:

Low Barrier Access to Medication

Monetary Incentives

Assertive Outreach and Therapy

Family Involvement & Peer Support

Join our Family Peer Support Group

Our YORS therapists and Peer Support Specialist host weekly peer support groups for loved ones and family members of patients in recovery. In these sessions, you can learn more about Opioid Use Disorder (OUD), your loved one's treatment, connect with other families in similar circumstances, and engage in discussions led by licensed staff.

Schedule: Tuesdays at 6 PM EST
