Help us to help those in or seeking recovery from Substance Use Disorder
There are over 800,000 in recovery in the state of Georgia, with close to half a million battling a Substance Use Disorder (SUD) and 22,000 checking into treatment every year. Addiction effects about 1 in 10 people and their families and loved ones.
Georgia Council on Substance Abuse (GCSA) is a non-profit organization formed in 2001 to increase the impact of recovery in Georgia's communities through education, advocacy, best practices and model programming, information dissemination, and training. GCSA creates lasting solutions for people, programming, and practice within the substance use arena. GCSA also continues to grow awareness within communities and through public policy platforms to combat the discrimination faced by individuals and families confronted with substance use challenges and disorders.
The Georgia Council blends professionalism with grassroots passion. GCSA understands the value of empathy, compassion, and integrity to help individuals succeed in long-term recovery. The staff and leadership lead from a place of lived experience. They join together to create and execute strategies to help communities throughout Georgia where recovery is embraced, promoted, and then sustained.
Through model programming in the field, GCSA increases their reach by building a workforce of peers to provide recovery support services to the communities of Georgia, through Peer Counselor education and training, Recovery Communities infrastructure development, specific direct services, advocacy, and a Warm Line that provide support and direction to those in field or needing assistance.
GCSA leadership and staff have adapted existing critically needed recovery supports to our current “social distancing” reality and have added additional programs to continue providing hope to individuals, families and communities throughout Georgia. These include:
Help us to help others seeking or in recovery through this difficult and challenging crisis and partner with Georgia Council on Substance Abuse to create a Georgia where recovery is promoted, valued and sustained in every town, city and county
