The Georgia Recovery Community looks forward to contributing how best to use these lifesaving funds in communities across Georgia.\u00a0 These resources have the potential to build on the strong infrastructure which Governor Kemp has established\u2019\u201d\u00a0said Neil Campbell, Executive Director of the Georgia Council on Substance Abuse.<\/b><\/p>\n
\u201cThis is a great day for the Georgia Recovery Community. Peers and families across Georgia appreciate the hard work of Governor Brian Kemp and Attorney General Chris Carr. These funds will make an immediate impact by allowing our public health agencies to connect with Georgians, via established Georgia Recovery Community partner organizations, enhancing support services,\u201d\u00a0said Jeff Breedlove, Chief of Policy and Communications for the Georgia Council on Substance Abuse.<\/b><\/p>\n
\u201cThe Georgia Council on Substance Abuse, and other established partners, look forward to a positive conversation on how to best utilize these funds to build upon the strong foundation Governor Kemp has established. We look forward to working with the Department of Law, the Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities (DBHDD), and the Department of Public Health (DPH) to make certain these funds are used in the best possible manner to serve peers and their families in the Georgia Recovery Community. Peer input is essential to ensure the success of this effort,\u201d\u00a0said Breedlove.<\/b><\/p>\n
