The 2024 Georgia Recovers Bus Tour is a Georgia based project sponsored by the Georgia Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities (DBHDD) and the Georgia Council for Recovery (GC4R). GC4R is honored to partner with DBHDD to bring this exciting bus tour to over 60 communities across Georgia during National Recovery Month.

This stand-alone project is Georgia grown and Georgia run encompassing the spirit and voice of the Georgia Recovery Community. GC4R is proud to partner with our local recovery community hosts to bring a uniquely Georgia message of the hope and joy of recovery.

We are excited to share with you exciting news regarding the 2024 Georgia Recovers Bus Tour. Here are the dates, times, locations, and type of event for each stop on this historic tour.

We will release the exact locations for each stop on Monday 1 July.

Additionally, certain locations will, prior to 1 July, start posting a Save the Date image for their particular stop.

Thank you for your support of the Georgia Recovery Community.

Recovery is Real.
