Our Work |

Recovery Café Muncie was founded on the certain belief that every human being is beloved regardless of past trauma, mental and emotional anguish, addictive behaviors, or mistakes made. We open our doors to people with heavy loads of failure, guilt, and shame. Our space is beautiful to show our members that they are deserving of a beautiful, safe, drug and alcohol-free space. We are a loving community intended to anchor our Members in the sustained recovery needed to gain and maintain access to housing, social and health services, healthy relationships, education, and employment.
We provide support, resources, and a community of care along the entire continuum of a person’s need for recovery assistance. Whether in crisis, newer to recovery, in long-term recovery, after a relapse, during a difficult life change, or mental health transition, the Café is there as a refuge of care with evidence-based support and love. We teach people ways to manage mental health, maintain sobriety, and build community. We help each individual reclaim life as a person worthy of giving and receiving love. Through our work, we prevent individuals from another potentially life-ending crisis, saving taxpayer money in emergency intervention to help them stabilize, and allowing mental health and addiction support professionals to focus on health maintenance and substance use prevention. |
Our program is designed to help people maintain recovery, reduce relapse, and fulfill potential. Important elements of this work include: Radical Hospitality When you walk in to the Cafe, you will know you are welcome! Recovery Circles Small groups meeting weekly to share challenges and receive strength-building feedback and to become more deeply known. Community Meals Healthy meals to nurture our members. Classes Education, exploration of something new, and healing: art, book studies, relapse prevention, yoga, meditation, creative writing. Service Work The Café belongs to the community members, and to give back all members contribute to service work at the Café, be it walking with a Member to a doctor’s appointment or mopping the floor at the end of the day. |
