Our Operations
 Multiple PathwaysÂ
to RecoveryÂ
A unique support group podcast where people come together to discuss different ways to achieve recovery success.
Service Area
We conduct the majority of our operations within the city of Rochester, and we specialize in the navigation of services offered within the Greater Rochester area.
Our support services will never be limited by geographic location. Anyone, anywhere, may reach out to us for personal support. We will always do our best to help with resource navigation, but most of our connections and expertise are based on services available within our area.
Support &
Resource Navigation
We are your bridge to change.
We are a support group. We are each other’s chosen family. All of our volunteers and participants care for each other and the individuals we serve very profoundly.
We also offer more traditionally structured supportive services such as resource referrals, support in navigating mental health and human services resources, and our Multiple Pathways to Recovery substance-use support group.

Community
Education
Substance Use Disorder is a condition that is not widely understood, and people need to be educated about what it is, how it can manifest, and its close connection to other mental health and trauma-related disorders.
To help people understand the disease, we use facts and data and provide real-life examples of people who are living with Substance Use Disorder or those who have loved ones who are struggling with it. Educating society, especially young people, is the key to overcoming this epidemic. We offer educational presentations and tabling at community events to further this mission.
​
Presentations may include: ​
-
Online or in-person oral presentations about Hope Dealers BTC's services and operations.
-
Opioid Overdose Reversal training using Narcan, including free kits.
-
Slideshows of facts and data related to substance use, overdose, and recovery.
-
Personal shares from people who live with Substance Use Disorder and have found recovery.
-
Real stories from people who have/had loved ones in active addiction or have lost someone they love to overdose.
​
We welcome anyone, for any reason, to set up an educational awareness presentation for your group or community.
