We are a non-profit organization dedicated to increasing the impact of recovery in Georgia's communities through education, advocacy and training. GCSA was founded in 2001 by a group of caring individuals wanting to create solutions for people with substance use disorders. And we continue that task today by lifting up the voices of people in recovery so that we help to reduce the stigma which often keeps people from getting the help they need. To date, we have trained over 450 people in long-term recovery through our Certified Addiction Recovery Empowerment Specialist (CARES) training academy. You will find information about how to become, and stay, a CARES here. Our trained peers form the cornerstone of all of our work. GCSA is a founding member of the Association of Recovery Community Organizations (ARCO), which began in 2011, and has been an active force on the local, state and national levels, helping communities understand the value of peer-run, community-based services and supports. In 2017 we were one of eight jurisdictions in the country awarded a SAMHSA "Building Communities of Recovery" (BCOR) grant. Through this program we will use funding to enhance our recovery community development work- led by the peer recovery voice! We know and believe in the power of the voices of lived recovery experience, we live our recovery out loud and we hope that as you learn more, you join us in becoming part of the solution!
