Addiction Recovery Support Centers
DBHDD in partnership with the Georgia Council on Substance Abuse has been actively impacting Recovery within communities for the past 7 years. GCSA has been supported by DBHDD and federal grants to develop recovery communities across Georgia to address the needs of those in or seeking recovery from substance use disorders.
DBHDD began funding Addiction Recovery Support Centers five years ago and has recently added many new ARSCs for a total of 25 ARSCs across the state.
