Serenity Recovery Connection (SRC) is in Custer County!

SRC is Colorado’s only nationally accredited recovery community organization and they're expanding into Westcliffe, Silver Cliff, Lake Isabel, and everywhere in between. SRC provides community-based peer support and resource guidance for individuals and families navigating substance use and co-occurring mental health challenges.

SRC is different. They are low-barrier, embrace overdose prevention, and support multiple pathways to recovery. Their accreditation is part of a rigorous process that evaluates integrity, leadership, and ethics—so the people served can rely on consistent quality.

They’re your connection to local resources, your guide to navigating the system, and your coach to help you find the next steps.

SRC's services include:
· Peer Recovery Coaching
· Recovery Wellness Planning
· Family Support
· Telephone Recovery Support
· The SRC Training Academy – for those ready to become state-certified peer recovery coaches.

Change is possible, and it begins with a conversation. We recover together.

Secondhand aerosol, sometimes referred to as “vapor” or “vape", emitted by electronic ci******es exposes bystanders to harmful elements such as ni****ne, heavy metals, ultra-fine particulates, volatile organic compounds, and other toxicants.

A new study found harmful metals in aerosols from popular disposable vapes. This study found:

💨Heating causes metal parts inside vapes to break down.
💨Released metals include nickel, chromium, iron, and lead.
💨Disposable vapes release more metal the longer they’re used.
💨“Clear” disposable vapes also contain harmful metal levels similar to flavored versions.
