Arise and Flourish, Inc. is a nonprofit organization that seeks to educate and raise awareness about the alcohol and drug addiction epidemic that is spreading throughout Maryland, Virginia, and Washington D.C. We work in partnership with like-minded organizations and individuals to share ideas and information concerning the critical social needs created by substance use and dependency in our community. We advance specific solutions through prevention, education, fundraising, and awareness-creating activities.
Arise & Flourish speakers with lived experience present the cycle of addiction to youth so they will understand why it happens, how it interrupts personal plans, and how to seek help.
Arise & Flourish empowers and educates students to avoid the cycle of addiction, prevent substance use and misuse, and stop fatal overdoses.
