The Addictions & Recovery Ministry of the Unitarian Universalist Pacific Southwest District promotes and supports programs in UU organizations in Southern California, Southern Nevada and Arizona that are in alignment with our UU principles, that support addiction prevention and recovery for our church congregations and the larger community.

We hope to foster the development of addictions ministries throughout our denomination through sharing with Unitarian Universalists interested in the challenges and effects of addictions within our congregations and the larger society and to build connections and networks among them:

• information
• ideas
• resources
• encouragement 

We understand addiction in its broadest sense to include:

• substance abuse
• behavioral addictions (e.g., gambling, sexual activity, overeating, workaholism)

This website provides information and resources for both organizations' addictions ministies and individuals seeking recovery assistance.
