Georgia Recovers Bus Tour Stop
2024-09-16 09:00 - 10:00 | GA
Throughout National Recovery Month in September of 2024, the Georgia Recovers Bus will make 63 stops in communities across Georgia.
The Georgia Recovers Bus Tour is an official State of Georgia National Recovery Month Event funded by Commissioner Kevin Tanner at the Georgia Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities and supported by the Georgia General Assembly Working Group on Addiction and Recovery.
The Georgia Council for Recovery is the exclusive statewide partner with the Georgia Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities for this historic tour.
Every stop is FREE and Open to the Public. We will highlight local peers in recovery, families impacted by addiction, and allies who support recovery.
The Georgia Recovers Bus Tour will have a Proclamation Stop on September 16, 2024 from 9am-10am at Springfield City Hall located at 130 S Laurel St Springfield, GA 31329
Click here for a schedule of all 63 stops: https://gc4recovery.org/garecovers-bus-tour-2024/
There are three types of stops:
A: Proclamation Stop – where local leaders present a National Recovery Month proclamation in support of people living in recovery and families impacted by addiction
B: Policy Stop – where local stakeholders have a diverse community conversation on how addiction and recovery impacts communities
C: Celebration Stop – a celebration with FREE food, entertainment, and fellowship celebrating the hope and joy of recovery where hundreds of community members join together to show that Recovery Happens in Communities. Celebration stops highlight local peers in recovery, families impacted by addiction, and allies who support recovery.

“I am excited for the Georgia Recovers Bus Tour. My team remains committed to providing support for vulnerable Georgians impacted by the addiction epidemic. The statewide tour will combine serious policy conversations with fun celebration concerts. It is important to reach everyone as we show Georgia that ‘Recovery is Real.’” – Commissioner Kevin Tanner, Georgia Department Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities
“The Georgia Council for Recovery is honored to serve as the exclusive statewide partner for The Georgia Recovers Bus Tour with DBHDD. This stand-alone project is Georgia grown and Georgia run encompassing the spirit and voice of the Georgia Recovery Community. GC4R is proud to partner with our local recovery community hosts to bring a uniquely Georgia message of the hope and joy of recovery,” said Laurisa Guerrero, Executive Director, The Georgia Council for Recovery.
“The number one cause of death in America, including Georgia, for people 18 – 45 is overdose. The good news is that ‘Recovery is Real’. There are over 900,000 people in communities across Georgia in recovery from addiction. The Georgia Recovers Bus Tour will bring the hope and joy of recovery to families across Georgia as it saves lives, restores families, and strengthens communities,” said Jeff Breedlove, Strategic Policy Advisor, The Georgia Council for Recovery.
“The Georgia Recovers Bus Tour is connecting people and communities across Georgia. The opposite of addiction is connection. This historic bus tour will break down the stigma surrounding addiction and show that Georgia supports the people impacted by the Addiction Epidemic. When Georgia comes together, we can build stronger families, a stronger workforce, and stronger communities,” said Jon Langston, Tour Manager for The Georgia Recovers Bus Tour.
