Our Mission
Through workforce development, sober living, and economic development, Pollen8 helps women in recovery break the cycle of addiction and build self-sufficient lives.
Our Vision
We envision an Appalachia where every woman in recovery has meaningful work, a safe place to call home, and a thriving community to belong to, and where the cycle of addiction ends with her.

West Virginia overdose deaths have been cut in half.
51%
Drop in West Virginia drug overdose deaths in two years, from 1,389 in 2023 to 682 in 2025.
707
Fewer West Virginians lost to overdose in 2025 than in 2023.

Multi-impact
Addiction involves the individual, the family, employment, economy, and the total fabric of our culture.
Nuclear Family
Children of parents with addiction are up to 8 times more likely to develop an addiction themselves. We have to break the cycle.
Sustaining "People"
We are environmentally conscious, but human sustainability is our priority and our focus.
Purpose & Value
Our model reintegrates our clients back into their family and community.
Breaking the Cycle
Our goal is lasting recovery.
Our goal is to end the spiraling trajectory of opioid addiction and relapse. We want to build a better future and help women with Substance Use Disorder (SUD) understand their value, their purpose, and get them into safe environments. Being able to do this at scale is what the world needs—and our Reintegr8 model is going to help us meet that need. For decades, society has tried through caring, medicine, and finances… but our people and communities are struggling with SUD.
Together, with your help, our Reintegr8 model is going to change West Virginia and the world.
