Recovery Navigator Program

Services to individuals who intersect with law enforcement because of simple drug possession and/or people who have frequent criminal legal system contact because of unmet behavioral healthcare needs.

What is the Recovery Navigator Program?

The Recovery Navigator Program (RNP) is a community-based program that helps individuals with substance use and mental health challenges connect to services, supports, and resources. RNP provides outreach, assessment, care coordination, recovery coaching, peer support, and intensive case management to help individuals move toward their recovery goals. Services are provided at no cost and do not require insurance.

Who does the Recovery Navigator Program serve?

RNP serves youth and adults who live in San Juan County; includes (but not limited to) Friday Harbor, Lopez Island, and Orcas Island. Individuals may have substance use disorders, mental health conditions, or co-occurring behavioral health needs. Services are available to people with Medicaid, commercial insurance, or no insurance, and there is no out-of-pocket cost to participate in RNP services.

Approach to Care

RNP uses a person-centered, strengths-based approach that helps individuals identify meaningful goals and create practical plans to reach them. Case managers and peer counselors provide support through Motivational Interviewing, recovery-oriented practices, and community-based engagement. Staff can meet with participants in their homes, in the community, in the office, by phone, or through video visits.

RNP staff can help individuals:
• Identify and prioritize personal goals, including the use of SMART goals.
• Develop step-by-step plans and explore ways to increase motivation.
• Connect with treatment, recovery services, and support networks.
• Practice skills and carry out treatment goals outside of therapy.
• Complete applications and navigate needed services.

• Support individuals in making progress toward self-identified recovery goals.
