Services and support to help us all live healthy, fulfilling lives free from the effects of drug and alcohol addiction.
At ELOI, our Post-Recovery Support Program is designed to help individuals not just recover but thrive. We walk this journey with you, ensuring you have the tools, resources, and support needed to rebuild a life of stability, purpose, and hope. Recovery is just the beginning—empowerment is the goal!
If are an individual or you have a family member fighting against addiction, we can help. From finding quality treatment for drug or alcohol addiction to providing support for family members and loved ones, our trusted team and network is here to help you start the journey of getting the clinical and emotional support you need and deserve to find recovery.
Beneficiaries of this service will be offered the opportunity to travel to Uganda, Africa. Once in Uganda, individuals will not be tempted by substances as this is not a common issue affecting their general population and there will be a much smaller temptation to use addictive substances. We will help with sober living and recovery through the help of trusted members of the community such as social workers, pastors, and counselors. Through a different perspective and enriched living, we have the ability to help support a full recovery.
A healing space for those rebuilding their lives after recovery. We stand beside you, listen without judgment, and guide your journey forward.

Through this program, we collaborate with recovery organizations to host individuals on post-recovery trips to Uganda, East Africa. Participants will be under the supervision of a specialized support team, engage in service and learning experiences for 3-6 months or longer. These hands-on projects aim to equip participants with valuable work skills, foster connections with supportive communities, and promote self-discovery. With no access to street drugs in Uganda, participants can focus on finding deeper meaning and purpose without the temptation of addictive behaviors. This environment, combined with community support, helps renew their vitality, fosters valuable skills, and provides unique experiences from which they can feel inspired and carry back this meaning to the US.
