Arizona Women’s Recovery Center Celebrates 65 Years of Empowering Women in Recovery:
Launches $6,500 Donor Match Campaign

 

Arizona Women’s Recovery Center (AWRC) is excited to celebrate 65 years of empowering women on their journey to recovery. For six decades, AWRC has provided crucial support to women struggling with addiction and substance use disorders. By offering gender-specific, evidence-based programs, the center addresses each woman’s individual needs while also supporting her family through the recovery process. As a result, AWRC’s efforts have led to family reunification and reduced pressure on the foster care system.

 

Milestones of Long Term Recovery

To commemorate this milestone, AWRC is launching a special fundraising campaign with the goal of raising $65,000. The campaign is offering a unique opportunity for donors: if 100 individuals donate $65 each, a generous donor will match the total donations up to $6,500.

Every dollar you donate goes directly to the women and families at AWRC, supporting their needs including housing expenses, childcare, community meals, education fees, and job readiness programs. Over the past five years, AWRC has supported over 600 families and established a strong alumni network.

 

 

Recent data from the Arizona Department of Health Services reveals the ongoing need for recovery support: in 2024, the state saw over 1,400 opioid-related deaths and more than 3,000 non-fatal overdoses, with fentanyl responsible for 70% of the non-fatal opioid overdoses. This underscores the critical importance of continued resources for women in recovery.

 

“With your help, AWRC can ensure that the next 65 years are filled with even more stories of recovery, empowerment, and independence,” said Dr. Beverly Wohlert, CEO of AWRC.
