*North Central Vermont Recovery Center has no affiliation with 12-Step meetings. 12-Step meetings are their own entities that pay rent to hold meetings in NCVRC's space. Other nationally recognized groups, such as Refuge Recovery and SMART Recovery, have trained facilitators to lead those groups at NCVRC in accordance with the group's national standards.
