Association Celebrate Recovery
Our Mission and Vision
The Association for the Resocialization of Former Addicts Celebrate Recovery is a NGO founded in 2008 by recovered users who identified problems related to resocialization and the addiction problem in general and started the organization based on their lived experience.
Our mission is to show that recovery is possible and motivate people with addiction to seek help by sharing the testimonials and positive examples of fulfilled lives of recovered users, as well as to provide support for resocialization and social inclusion to those who have completed treatment. Furthermore, Celebrate Recovery aims to raise public awareness about the harmful effects of drug use and the importance of treatment and recovery.
Our visionis to provide comprehensive and directed conditions to every individual addicted to drugs to successfully recover, reintegrate back into the community as a productive member, and with examples of quality of life and personal responsibility contribute to elimination of stigma- once an addict, always an addict.
SUPPORT IN THE RECOVERY PROCESS FROM 2008
SERVICES PROVIDED IN 2019
Our values
Celebrate Recovery is an organization whose values are based on Christian worldview. We believe that love and acceptance can make a change in an individual’s character and behavior related to addiction, regardless of the phase of addiction. In our work, we promote full recovery from addiction and believe that addiction is a treatable condition which requires a multidisciplinary approach; medical and social as well as spiritual.
One of our primary goals is to help people find their pathway to recovery. Our motive is to spread a message that recovery is possible, and to exert impact on views of the public and show that addiction can be beaten. We want to help individuals recover from addiction, but also to create better conditions for recovery at the society level, and to advocate for the rights and de-marginalization and inclusion of people with addiction.
We believe that our contribution to Bosnia and Herzegovina society is unique because recovered users help people in addiction to become drug-free and when they start their recovery process they become helpers themselves (circle of actions). We also agree that by helping one person, we contribute to better conditions for everyone in his/her environment, and by doing that make the places we live better places to live. Our activities range from helping a person with addiction on the street to active participation in the drug policy field and in creating strategies on the EU levels.

Looking for help
If someone you care about becomes addicted to drugs, it can also bring a great deal of disappointment. Lack of knowledge around addiction can make you take wrong steps and might aggravate an already bad situation. Addiction is a problem that affects not only an individual, but also the whole family and community in general. Therefore, it is very important to engage whole family in the recovery process. Do not fall into a trap of closing your eyes to the problem because then it can only become worse. Drug abuse is a dangerous disease that often can lead to death. The first step is always finding strength to face the problem and seek help.
