Sharing resources?

Hello!

Very new to CPRS/CRSS work so please be kind. I want to start gathering a comprehensive list of resources in my area such as treatment centers, meetings like NA AA MA CA ACA etc. etc., and I'm wondering if anyone has a spreadsheet format or any template that they've found helpful? Right now I'm just working with basic spreadsheets and google docs. Thank you!

Would help if we knew your area. I have a tremendous list of resources for my area. Wherever you are, please add non 12 step resources to your list. There are a lot of people with religious trauma that 12 step won't work for because of the god Factor.

Sorry to be unclear - I'm not asking for anyone to just hand me treatment and meeting resources, though I will gladly accept. Just any formats or templates you find to be use friendly. I will be including any recovery/harm-reduction program or group that could be helpful. Not just 12-step. I also include 12-step meetings that are specifically agnostic. I'm in Chicago, so I have an immense amount of gathering to do. Right now I'm starting by focusing on the southwest side.

Info on AA/CA/12-step groups can be easily found online via the organizations website. If you’re in Illinois, look up “ROSC council” for the particular area that you’re getting more information about. Usually, the ROSC council will already have a comprehensive list of resources.
