These cuts would make it more difficult for individuals to receive addiction support and life-saving drugs like naloxone. The State Opioid Response program, for example, would experience a 22% cut. Additionally, reductions in funding for recovery support resources like the Substance Use, Prevention, Treatment, and Recovery (SUPTR) block grant, Building Communities of Recovery (BCOR) grants, and the Department of Labor&#8217;s RESTORE grant program would significantly impact addiction recovery.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Addiction is impacting America at historic rates. The CDC has acknowledged that overdoses are negatively impacting the average life expectancy in the United States. This is a time for Congress to invest in treatment and recovery support services, not propose cuts during this medical epidemic,&#8221; said Laurisa Guerrero, Executive Director, Designee, Georgia Council for Recovery.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;With respect, while it is certainly appropriate for Congress to propose options to save taxpayers money in the Budget, it&#8217;s not appropriate to support draconian cuts to programs which support recovery from a medical condition in the midst of an epidemic. The Georgia Council for Recovery calls on all stakeholders in Washington D.C. to join in a bipartisan effort to reject these cuts to recovery supports and, in fact, expand funding for recovery support programs,&#8221; said Jeff Breedlove, Chief of Policy and Communications, Georgia Council for Recovery.<\/p>\n<p>###<\/p>\n<p>For Additional Information:<\/p>\n<p>Jeff Breedlove<\/p>\n<p>Chief of Policy and Communications<\/p>\n<p>Georgia Council for Recovery<\/p>\n<p>404-615-5735<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s Time to Expand Not Cut Funding for Addiction Recovery\u00a0 The\u00a0Limit, Save, and Grow Act of 2023\u00a0has a provision which cuts over $1 billion from the Department of Health and Human Services programs designed to address the addiction crisis.
