Summit Recovery Hub

💚 23 YEARS OF RECOVERY 💚

Yesterday, September 29, marked a very special milestone for our Founder and Executive Director, China Darrington — 23 years in recovery.

For China, recovery has grown to mean so much more than not using substances. It’s about wellness. Healing from trauma. Personal growth. Purpose. Connection. And using what we’ve learned along the way to help someone else discover what recovery can look like for them.

That philosophy is at the heart of the Summit Recovery Hub.

We believe recovery can be about more than getting “back” to where you were. It can be an opportunity to uncover who you are, discover what makes you well, build recovery capital, find community, and create a life that is meaningful to you.

Today, we celebrate China’s 23 years — and we celebrate every person in our , whether you have decades, days, hours, or you’re simply beginning to wonder what change might look like.

There is room for you here. 💚

Congratulations, China, on 23 years of healing, growth, service, advocacy, and recovery.
