The Office of Recovery Services connects Iowans with resources and referrals to behavioral health use services and supports. What makes the Office of Recovery Services unique is that we approach our work with the perspective of people with lived experience who are in recovery from mental health and/or substance use challenges. The ORS provides a voice within state government for people with mental illness and their family members, and people with behavioral health challenges and their family members. The ORS provides education and awareness opportunities through our website, social media, and phone support systems. The ORS is guided by a statewide advisory committee made up of peers and family members that meets regularly to guide our mission and elevate concerns to the state level.
