South King County Recovery Café
Coming October 2026
Recovery does not happen only in treatment centers, counseling offices, or recovery residences. Much of recovery happens afterward — in ordinary life. Over coffee. Around a table. During difficult conversations. Through friendships, accountability, service, and having somewhere to belong.
Led by Rahma Recovery Center in partnership with Living Well Kent Collaborative, the Café is being developed to serve communities across South King County.
There is a place for you here.
What You'll Find at the Café
- Recovery circles and peer connection
- Recovery coaching and resource navigation
- Meals and fellowship
- Workshops and educational opportunities
- Recovery-oriented activities
- Volunteer and leadership opportunities
- Connections to treatment, housing, employment & behavioral health
- A welcoming community where people can belong
Recovery, In Numbers
Verified figures from Rahma Recovery Center's work across South King County. Numbers grow as our data systems mature — but behind every one of them is a person.
Salaam House & House of Du'a
Behind every number is a person.
A parent. A son. A daughter. A brother. A sister. A family hoping this time might be different.
Built From Lived Experience. Driven By Purpose.
Rahma Recovery Center was not created from a theory about what people struggling with addiction need — it grew from lived experience. Our founder, Hussein Ugas, experienced firsthand the realities of addiction, mental-health struggles, justice-system involvement, rebuilding, and long-term recovery.
Those experiences revealed both the power of recovery and the gaps that remain for people whose culture, faith, family, or lived experience may not be understood within traditional systems. Rahma Recovery Center was created to help bridge those gaps.
Recovery is not theoretical — it is lived one day at a time. That's the foundation our team is built on.
Why Salaam House?
Salaam House provides structured, culturally responsive Level II recovery housing for men working to establish stability and long-term recovery — where language is understood, culture is respected, and faith is embraced. Residents build accountability, peer connection, personal responsibility, and recovery capital together. Salaam House is where shame ends and healing begins.

Faith-Informed. Open to Everyone.
Rahma Recovery Center was founded from Muslim and East African lived experience, and faith remains part of how we understand healing. We don't hide that — culture and faith can be strengths in recovery, not barriers to receiving care.

Stories From Our Community
"There is no word for addiction in Somali. How can we deal with a concept we don't even have a word for?"
"Thank God I don't have to worry about a safe place to be anymore" — one of the first House of Du'a residents told founder Hussein Ugas.
Simple accommodations — halal food, kitchens free of pork products, and recovery activities scheduled around the five daily prayers — can make the recovery process easier for residents who share similar cultural backgrounds.
