Recovery
Access Montana
The central nervous system for Montana’s recovery infrastructure. Certifying housing, coordinating centers, and standardizing peer support statewide.
Certified Homes
National standards ensure homes are recovery-focused—aligned with best practices, supportive of residents, and operated with ethics and accountability.
Recovery Community Centers (RCCs)
Certification, training, and technical assistance for Montana’s Recovery Community Centers—helping communities make recovery visible and accessible.
How RAM Strengthens the System
From safety checks to policy impact. Here is how we build a reliable, accountable safety net for the entire state.
Trust & Quality Control
Objective: Ensure every recovery bed in Montana is safe and supportive.
RAM acts as the authorizing body for the state. We verify that homes meet national safety standards (NARR). This protects residents from exploitation and gives funders confidence that their resources are used effectively.
Professional Workforce
Objective: Turn lived experience into a certified career path.
We oversee the credentialing of Peer Support Specialists. By training individuals in ethics, trauma-informed care, and crisis intervention, we create a skilled workforce capable of working alongside clinical professionals.
Community Access
Objective: Provide immediate access to support in local communities.
We help launch and sustain Recovery Community Centers (RCCs). These act as "one-stop shops" for employment help, housing navigation, and peer support, reducing the burden on emergency services.
Proving Results
Objective: Validate the return on investment for recovery services.
We aggregate data on housing retention, employment rates, and recidivism. This allows the state to see exactly what is working, identify gaps in real-time, and allocate funding where it has the highest impact.
Sustainable Funding
Objective: Secure long-term resources for the recovery ecosystem.
By standardizing the industry and proving outcomes, we give lawmakers the confidence to invest. We translate operational success into legislative action that supports public health and safety.

Building the
Foundation
Recovery requires more than just willpower; it requires a system. We are building the infrastructure—from standards to data—that makes long-term recovery possible for everyone in Montana.
Key Initiatives
Justice & Recovery
Reducing recidivism by connecting justice-involved individuals directly to certified housing.
Employment
Creating sustainable career paths and recovery-ready workplaces across the state.
We Build Infrastructure
We do not provide clinical treatment. We build the roads, bridges, and utilities that treatment providers and individuals rely on to navigate the recovery landscape.
Proven Models
Our standards are derived from national best practices. We implement frameworks proven to reduce costs and sustain recovery capital.
Unified Care
We dismantle silos. By connecting the DOC, DPHHS, and local non-profits, we create a seamless system that is easier to navigate.
Access Everywhere
From urban centers to rural outposts, our certification standards ensure equitable access to quality support across 147,000 square miles.
