Ryan Jordan was recently promoted to program director of Recovery Café Haverhill operated by Riverbend.
Jordan previously served the Riverbend team for more than a year as care coordinator at Bradford House, where he worked closely with residents to support treatment planning, coordinate services and help individuals build strong foundations for long-term recovery. In his new role, he will lead day-to-day operations at Recovery Café Haverhill, overseeing programming and staff, welcoming new members and building, what the nonprofit calls,” the kind of consistent, judgment-free community that helps people stay connected to recovery long after treatment ends.”
“The Café is a different kind of space,” said Jordan. “People come in and they’re not a client or a case number, they’re a member and they belong here. I’m grateful for the chance to help grow that community and to support people as they work toward healthier, more fulfilling lives in recovery.”
Rich Hollett, vice president of Recovery Support Services at Riverbend, said “Ryan has demonstrated exceptional dedication to both our clients and our mission since joining Riverbend.” He is a graduate of Riverbend’s Recovery Coach Academy.
Before joining Riverbend, Jordan served as a recovery specialist and later lead recovery specialist at Beth Israel Lahey Health, where he enabled recovery groups, completed intake assessments, coordinated daily shift operations and responded to medical emergencies, including administering Narcan and providing CPR. He brings experience in crisis intervention, group facilitation, referral coordination and maintaining safe, welcoming environments, following the Café’s member-driven model.
Recovery Café Haverhill is a drug- and alcohol-free healing community.
