McKinsey &amp; Co. helped companies promote their drugs, and essentially profited greatly from the opioid epidemic.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Georgia will receive $16,790,458.14 from the multi-state settlement. This is the first multi-state opioid settlement to result in substantial payment to the states to address the epidemic.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u201cThe Georgia Council on Substance Abuse looks forward to working with our partners in state government to ensure that an appropriate amount of this settlement is directed to services and supports where they are needed the most. And we believe that peer-led recovery programs top that list. It is essential that our state fund SUD prevention, treatment and recovery supports, which form the basis of the continuum of care that will help Georgia communities heal and get well,\u201d said Neil Campbell, Executive Director of GCSA.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u201cAs a person in long term recovery, I respect that prevention and treatment play a vital role in the process. It is critical that our state government and medical leaders respect the essential role of post treatment long term peer led recovery in this process\u201d said Jeff Breedlove, Chief of Policy for GCSA.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u201cThis is a great day for Georgia and the Georgia Recovery Community. On behalf of the over 800,000 people in recovery across Georgia, we thank Attorney General Carr for his leadership on this important effort to provide justice for the victims of those who have committed these crimes against humanity on the people of Georgia,\u201d said Breedlove.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u201cAddiction is a preventable, treatable chronic health condition from which people do recovery. Recovery is the key part of the equation in addressing the opioid crisis in terms of long-term health for those individuals who are victims of those who have spread this poison across Georgia. GCSA is ready to work with our state partners to provide education, training and much-needed recovery support programs across Georgia,\u201d said Campbell.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Georgia Council on Substance Abuse Congratulates Attorney General Chris Carr Georgia Set to Receive $16,790,458 in First Multi-State Opioid Settlement Tucker, GA &#8211; The Georgia Council on Substance Abuse (GCSA) congratulates Attorney General Chris Carr and the bi-partisan coalition of attorneys general for their leadership in the $573 million settlement with one of the world\u2019s [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":1666,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[18],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3834","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.5 -
