Young People In Recovery-Antelope Valley

Young People in Recovery (YPR) is a national nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting young adults, ages 18-24, in achieving long-term recovery from substance use disorders. YPR focuses on empowering individuals through advocacy, education, and peer support, creating pathways to recovery that are accessible and tailored to the unique needs of young people. The organization strives to break the stigma surrounding addiction and recovery, fostering environments where individuals can thrive.

The YPR of Antelope Valley serves the greater Antelope Valley in California including Lancaster and Palmdale. A range of services are offered from social events such as local hikes, pizza parties and bowling, to peer-led recovery support groups, life skills training, and recovery-ready community initiatives. These programs address critical areas such as housing, education, and employment, ensuring that young people have the tools and resources needed to rebuild their lives. Through peer-based connections, YPR provides mentorship and guidance, fostering a supportive network that encourages resilience and self-determination.

What sets YPR apart is its focus on advocacy and building recovery-ready communities. By working with policymakers and stakeholders, YPR helps create systemic change to support individuals in recovery. This holistic approach, combined with its emphasis on peer-driven care, makes YPR a transformative resource for young adults striving for recovery and a brighter future.
