Recovery Community Standards
RecoveryBuddy AI is dedicated to fostering a safe, respectful, recovery-focused, and supportive online community where individuals, Peer Recovery Coaches, Certified Recovery Specialists, sponsors, family members, healthcare providers, treatment organizations, and community partners can encourage one another and work toward healthier lives.
These Recovery Community Standards establish the expectations for participation throughout the RecoveryBuddy AI platform, including the website, mobile applications, WordPress plugin, AI services, recovery journals, messaging, recovery meetings, discussion areas, groups, comments, provider portals, organization dashboards, and all related services (collectively, the “Platform”).
Our mission is to create an environment built on trust, dignity, compassion, accountability, and hope.
