Do you want to help offer hope to people in treatment and recovery and their loved ones and change the community’s image of who people with the disease of addiction are?

Be an advocate for recovery and help make a difference!

• Email your story to recoverync.org and we will share it on the RecoveryNC Web Site to let others know they are not alone. You may use your name or send your story anonymously.

• Speak publicly or privately with your city council, your state government, your legislators and other officials. Let them know first hand that treatment works.

• Help to organize recovery support services in your local community. Contact us to find your local treatment/recovery services.

• Share with your family and friends that addiction is a disease that it can be treated. Recovery is possible, important, and a new beginning.

• Share with those in a decision-making capacity that you support increased spending for substance abuse treatment. Every dollar spent on treatment saves dollars in reduced criminal justice, public health, and child welfare costs.
