A board of 9 Orange County community members started Safe Haven Recovery Engagement Center (REC). The REC is a resource to anyone who is struggling with substance use. Whether you are a family member, friend or you yourself are affected by substance use we are here to help. Over 50% of our board members are people in recovery themselves.
Those struggling with substance use must change everything about themselves and it’s extremely difficult when they don’t know how. Recovery is possible. But without the appropriate resources, it makes it almost impossible. That’s where Safe Haven comes into place.
Safe Haven REC has been providing services since 2019. Since then, we have grown to make sure we can provide services to as many people as possible. 2023 has been a year of growth for us!! Safe Haven is excited to announce that as of June 2023, we are recognized as a Certified Recovery Community Organization in the state of Indiana through the IRN and DMHA. This brings another level of credibility to our organization showing we are committed to providing quality services to those who need it the most, always free of charge.
Safe Haven REC is here to serve the community and we believe that every community should have access to as many resources as possible to support recovery. That's why we partnered with NOW Counseling to offer IOP services at our physical location in Paoli, IN.
IOP services are Monday, Wednesday, Thursday from 5-8PM. Our transportation team is available for transport to IOP for all nine of the counties we serve.
Intakes start 7/9 with classes starting 7/15. If interested in attending IOP, please contact one of our coaches at 812-203-2230.
In March 2021, Governor Holcomb announced a partnership between Indiana state and Overdose Lifeline to place 2 NaloxBoxes in each county of the state. These Naloxboxes would offer 24/7 discreet access to the life saving drug, Naloxone. Naloxone is used to reverse opioid overdoses. We are pleased to announce Safe Haven has a NaloxBox located at our office at 308 S Oak St. Paoli, IN 47454. This box is checked daily and stocked with at least 12 doses of Naloxone at all times.

Safe Haven also serves as a pass through organization for Narcan distribution and can offer organizations Narcan and Narcan training if they need it. We have been proud to be able to get Narcan into the hands of probation officers, sober living homes, and inpatient treatment centers.
Paying tribute to the one who started it all, Dakota Stout was the inspiration for Safe Haven. He fought his disease for 8 years and he succumbed February 1st, 2018. This video is in honor of him.

Change is difficult for anybody, but is made easier with community support. Safe Haven is meant to be a low barrier, community-ran center. It succeeds as much as the community supports it. So here is where we need your help! We need funds to help keep our doors open. Grant funding pays for programming, employees, and supplies but rarely covers overhead or basic operating expenses.
This is great news. Gave me chills! So inspiring to witness our community embracing pro-active
actions and accepting that addiction has no boundaries.
This is awesome we need this. Made me cry happy tears
This is awesome. Navigating the system to get some help...it's tough.
So incredible! I always thought Orange County needed something like this.
