Did You Know
- EDI provides a comprehensive approach to recovery from addiction - Recovery Works. While addiction is recognized as a chronic condition, most traditional treatment and support services only address the condition using an acute-care approach. Through it's Recovery Works module, EDI recognizes the need to maintain appropriate support services over a long period of time to address the chronic nature of addiction and to recognize that recovery is a process, not an event.
- EDI's programming is available to members of all 12-step groups.
- Through EDI's Recovery Care module, emphasis is placed on developing sound fundamentals in behaviors, attitudes and thinking through the practice of spiritual principals, daily structure, personal accountability, and increasing levels of individual responsibility. By providing these supportive services, EDI helps to effectively reduce the costly toll of addiction on individuals, families, and society.
- EDi cooperates and collaborates with treatment providers, social support agencies, and recovery groups, breaking down the traditional barriers that shelter many individuals who have been introduced to recovery.

EDI's Supportive Housing Program dates back to the organization's early days on Walnut Street, where six rooms were provided for people in early recovery who lacked a safe place to live. Since then many changes and improvements have taken place. However, the primary purpose remains the same: to provide individuals who are starting their journey of recovery a with a safe, secure place to live, to help them learn to live a clean and sober life and to gain greater self-sufficiency. EDI currently hosts 63 housing beds at its two facilities serving 37 male and 26 female clients.

We are always in need of volunteers for our many events at The Recovery Center and the Reading Facility. Volunteering at an EDI event is fun and helps us bring these events to the recovering community, at low or often NO cost. Volunteering is also a way to meet other people in the recovery community and to reach out to newcomers in recovery.
