  1. Supportive Housing & Recovery November 19th, 2013

  2. What is the Georgia Recovery Initiative? • We are an all-inclusive group made up of people in recovery, advocates, family members, and providers of service with a common voice supporting a Recovery-Oriented System of Care in the State of Georgia. We value recovery, collaboration and inclusion.

  3. Georgia Recovery Initiative’s Purpose • We are a movement promoting a Recovery-Oriented System of Care in Georgia.

  4. Recovery Values • Recovery… • Emerges from hope • Is person-driven • Is age independent • Is strengths-based • Recognizes the wisdom of “lived experiences” • Occurs via many pathways • Is holistic • Is supported by peers, allies, advocates, and families • Is nurtured through relationships and social • networks • Is culturally based and influenced • Is anchored in wellness-addressing a person’s emotional health, environmental • well-being, financial satisfaction, intellectual creativity, occupational pursuits, physical activities, social engagement, and spiritual health • Addresses trauma • Supports self-responsibility • Empowers communities • Is based on respect

  5. What is the Recovery? • Recovery is a deeply personal, unique, and self determined journey through which an individual strives to reach his/her full potential. Persons in recovery improve their health and wellness by taking responsibility in pursing a fulfilling and contributing life while embracing the difficulties one has faced. • Recovery is not a gift from any system. Recovery is nurtured by relationships and environments that provide hope, empowerment, choices and opportunities. • Recovery belongs to the person. It is a right, and it is the responsibility of us all.

  6. Georgia Recovery Initiative’s Progress We have hosted “listening sessions” with over 300 participants across the state. For over a year, our diverse group has met regularly and we are now members of a ROSC Learning Community Cohort, sponsored by the Office of National Drug Control Policy, Executive Office of the President! We will share the feedback and input shared with us to shape a Georgia Recovery-Oriented System of Care that truly supports the local recovery successes in this state.
