What is Recovery Cafe?

Recovery Café is a healing space designed to support individuals seeking recovery through relationship-based support, engaging events, and a welcoming environment. Located in Dover, Delaware, this Recovery Café was launched in 2024 by Network Connect in partnership with Highmark Health Options and is a member of the national Recovery Café Network. This growing Network of Cafés supports thousands of people on their healing recovery journeys.

 

The Café serves many individuals healing from trauma, addiction, and mental health challenges. Recovery Cafés welcome all individuals seeking healing and connection, including those navigating grief, isolation, and other life struggles.  Visitors to the café can visit up to three times and are then prompted to become members. Membership fosters a deeper connection to the Café and requires members to accept three Membership Agreements: remain drug-and-alcohol-free while in the space, actively contribute to the Café, and attend a Weekly Recovery Circle.
