Niyyah Recovery Initiative

In Arabic, “Niyyah” signifies both “seed” and “intention,” reflecting the recovery initiative’s mission to bring lasting healing to its community.​
​
The Niyyah Recovery Initiative offers culturally sensitive support to help individuals in Minnesota’s East African and Muslim immigrant communities break free from substance use disorder. They help plant the seed of sobriety and nurture recovery with cultural compassion, understanding, and faith. Most importantly, Niyyah breaks down the walls and barriers of shame and stigma by encouraging open conversations about a taboo topic. This approach enables hope and healing for individuals, families, and the entire community.​
