I cannot thank the people at Saara enough! I wouldn't be where I am today without their support. Saara has helped me remain sober and I found the career of my dreams. After 10 years of active addiction, I am now sober, working full time, and enjoying life.
I am in recovery and the center gave me a place to call home. It is amazing to see the work they do and I am honored to have these people in my life. I don't know what I would do without this place.

The SAARA Center is an invaluable local resource for the Richmond area. The staff, volunteers and general public all come together to promote an excellent atmosphere of recovery, advocacy and outreach.
