What is RNP?
The Recovery Navigator Program (RNP) is a statewide effort, in partnership with Spokane Regional Behavioral Health Administrative Services Organization to provide community-based outreach, intake, assessment, and connection to services. These services support individuals with substance use disorders (SUD), including individuals with co-occurring substance use disorders.
The Recovery Navigator Program is voluntary and non-coercive, with individuals referred to the RNP retaining the right to decline participation without fear of penalties or future repercussions (denial of future services). In addition, abstinence from substance use is not a requirement to receive services through the RNP.
