The Southwest Recovery Alliance is a grassroots organization dedicated to the implementation of evidence-based public health strategies, policy transformation, and decreasing our reliance on carceral responses in Arizona.

Southwest Recovery Alliance has been running a peer-led syringe service program since 2019, offering life-saving and life-affirming services. Our syringe service program not only promotes safer practices and provides the supplies to do so, but also serves as a point of meaningful connection and empowerment for people who consume substances, promoting overdose and disease prevention. Co-located within our syringe service program is free HIV and Hepatitis C testing with linkage to care. At the end of the day, we want people to experience BIGG love while accessing the supplies they need, to prevent HIV, Hepatitis C, and overdose. 

In conjunction with Southwest Recovery Alliance’s direct service, there is a bi-monthly Community Night. The Community Nights increase opportunities for education, enrichment, and support for people who use our services, providing pro-social activities and education not only for our program participants but also for all community members who attend.
