Everyday Miracles Peer Recovery Support Center
Everyday Miracles Peer Recovery Support Center is a recovery
oriented sanctuary anchored in the heart of downtown Worcester. The center opened in October 2008 and
welcomed it’s relocation to a store front at 25 Pleasant Street, Worcester in
November 2009. The Recovery Center
provides peer-to-peer recovery support using its volunteer/member force to
deliver services.
Everyday Miracles maintains a member driven schedule Monday
– Saturday where recovery related workshops, trainings, services, meetings and
social events are consistently delivered.
To date the center serves approximately one hundred people each day in
recovery or friends and family who are concerned with recovery. Everyday Miracles Peer Recovery Center
provides a safe environment where shared experience leads to empowerment,
respect and a sense of wellness.
Hosted by Spectrum Health Systems, Everyday Miracles
succeeds because it offers an environment free of stigma and judgment – one
that supports members to pursue their own personal growth as they work toward
becoming active participants in their community.
Our Vision
Success is helping one another invest in a better tomorrow.
Our Mission
Everyday Miracles is a place where peers support one another
with encouragement while promoting positive values of recovery. Our goal is to
inspire and motivate each other to embrace a new way of life.
Our History

contract was awarded to Spectrum Health Systems, Inc.
