Ogle/DeKalb ROSC Council (ODRC)

Mission: The ROSC Council is a coalition of community stakeholders and interested parties that meet regularly with an intention to identify current community resources or providers for recovery adjacent services, also to identify gaps in the continuum of care. The ROSC seeks to coordinate providers and services to help prevent service duplication and to utilize all our community providers and resources to the maximum benefit of people seeking recovery from substance use disorder and co-occurring mental health issues. Ideally, the group collaboration will evolve into a standing and sustainable organization that provides support and services for people in addiction and behavioral health recovery.

Vision: In the case of the Ogle/DeKalb County ROSC, we already have such an entity in Sauk Valley Voices of Recovery. In our case, the ROSC can assist SVVOR in focusing their efforts as well as helping new groups and organizations develop and grow. The ROSC Council is open to all community organizations including the legal, educational, spiritual, recreational, law enforcement and health care systems. Along with the Recovery Community Organization (RCO), the ROSC Council will encourage community partnerships and collaborations and work to reduce stigma. The ROSC Councils seeks to be inclusive, equitable, diverse and its core focus is helping all people become a part of, rather than apart from their respective communities, to establish a greater future for all.
