PORRS — Peer Outreach Recovery & ReEntry Services — exists because too many people fall through the gaps between systems. Between courts and clinics. Between treatment and housing. Between the day someone walks out of incarceration and the long quiet weeks that follow. Between cultural identity and a healthcare system that doesn't always know how to honor it.
We were founded to be that connecting hand. Reaching back to pull someone forward. Not as an authority telling people what to do, but as peers walking alongside, holding the map and the lantern when the path gets dark.
Today, PORRS is an Arizona-based, ADHS-Licensed and AHCCCS-Certified provider delivering Community Health Worker services and Peer Recovery Support to three populations whose needs are too often overlooked: Veterans, American Indian and Alaska Native community members, and individuals navigating ReEntry from the justice system.
We're small on purpose. We grow on purpose. Every person we hire carries lived experience and formal credentials, because both matter. And we hold ourselves to the same standards of documentation, ethics, and accountability that any professional practice would — because the people we serve deserve nothing less.
