Virtual Rally for Recovery for Recovery Across Georgia

As Governor Brian Kemp and the General Assembly work hard to flatten the curve and combat the initial medical issues associated with COVID-19, Georgia begins to ask – what’s next? Unfortunately, what’s next is Phase 2 of the Pandemic and the next level of medial issues.

At the top of the list, posing the most serious threat are medical issues associated with mental health and addiction recovery.

The Georgia Recovery Community, the Georgia Mental Health Community, and our families and friends are joining together for a statewide Virtual Rally for Recovery for Recovery Across Georgia – Supporting Funding For Recovery In The State Budget

Thursday May 21 at 12:00 PM EST via Zoom at 896-3342-9328

There are over 800,000 people in recovery from Substance Use Disorder across Georgia and thousands more in active addiction. Still many thousand more deal with mental health issues beyond Substance Use Disorder.

The Georgia Recovery Community will speak to the realty that as Georgia moves into Phase 2 of COVID-19 those working in mental health and addiction recovery services emerge as the essential frontline workforce and recovery and mental health programs are essential.

As we move deeper into COVID-19, Georgia must have more resources to address issues surrounding Substance Use Disorder. GCSA calls on all government leaders to support expanded resources for recovery to prevent a catastrophic crisis in increased cases of new active addictions, relapse from recovery, and an increase in mental health challenges.
