Recovery is Possible, Help is Available

Published On: April 11, 2023

Since April is National Alcohol Awareness Month, now is a time to recognize that problems with alcohol are common and can make you feel alone. But it’s also important to recognize that recovery is always possible, and help is always available. If you or a loved one is struggling with alcohol or other substance use, we have the resources to help.

The LEAN Recovery Program understands the unique challenges faced by Laborers because it is run by Laborers, for Laborers. Our trained Recovery Specialists have been in your shoes and are ready to take the first step to recovery with you. To get started, call 1-844-423-LEAN.

You can also gather with your fellow Laborers to discuss addiction and recovery at in-person Laborers’ Recovery Meetings located throughout Massachusetts.  For more information, contact:
