The Maine Recovery Access Project (ME-RAP) is a grassroots recovery community organization led by people with lived and living experience of substance use and recovery, including family members and allies.

At the heart of ME-RAP’s work is a “listening-first” approach that ensures individuals with lived and living experience are central to shaping the programs, services, and policies that impact them. ME-RAP believes that sustainable change is only possible when solutions are driven by the voices of those most affected. By actively listening to communities, we foster collaborative, participant-centered solutions that respond to real-world needs.

Rooted in the longstanding principles of both the recovery and harm reduction movements, ME-RAP is committed to supporting all pathways of recovery. This core value shapes everything we do—our organization, our programs, our leadership, and the Access Center.
