Total Recovery Network

Total Recovery Network

The Total Recovery Network (TRN) is a recovery community organization that promotes recovery through advocacy, education, and service. TRN uses group and peer-based social support models to build recovery supports which are defined as "individual, relational, and community resources that sustained recovery."

Registration for these supports are available at no charge to individuals needing, seeking, or recovery, and their immediate family members. Enrolled individuals may be responsible for purchasing personal supplies needed for some of the training courses.

These services are funded through the Department of Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse Services (DAODAS) and are provided by services offered through the Midlands Community Development Corporation (MCDC).

Currently, we have five network satellites that are located across the Upper, Lower, Pee Dee, and Midlands regions of South Carolina. The Total Recovery Network has been working diligently to ensure that satellite sites are accessible throughout the state of South Carolina.

Recovery support services are not offered at all satellite sites, but some sites may have similar supports to those listed in this publication.
