History
Stanly Peer & Recovery (SPARE) was founded in 2023 to address the lack of recovery support for individuals in the Stanly County Detention Center, many of whom faced forced withdrawal without adequate resources.
Peer support specialists from various agencies formed a workgroup to bring recovery services into the facility.
