A brief explanation about our change from Refuge Recovery Portland, Maine to Portland Recovery Dharma at PRCC:

As the result of a law suit between the Refuge Recovery board of directors and its founder Noah Levine, Refuge Recovery (RR) has split into two distinct entities: Refuge Recovery World Services and Recovery Dharma. Each individual RR community has had to decide their own path forward in the midst of these changes and which group they wish to affiliate themselves with. RR Rockland, along with all of the other RR communities now established in Maine (Rockland, Machias and Caribou), has decided to move forward with Recovery Dharma.

What does this mean? Fundamentally, the mission and structure of our local meetings will remain the same. Our name has now changed to Portland Recovery Dharma at PRCC, and our primary text will be the Recovery Dharma book. As always, we will continue to include other books related to Buddhism and recovery in our meetings. Our commitment as a peer-led community using the teachings and practices of Buddhism to heal from the pain of addiction remains unchanged.
