These hubs expand the ability to connect Hoosiers with mental health and substance use disorders to treatment and recover support through certified peer recovery coaches, community health workers and certified recovery specialists. Now that L.I.T.E. has joined IRN as a regional recovery hub, L.I.T.E. is able to assist individuals with substance use disorder, regardless of where someone is in their recovery journey.
