Advocate

We act as an advocate for change in the community to move the model of addiction treatment from acute care to chronic care. The scientific and medical establishment agree: Addiction is a primary, chronic condition with genetic, psychosocial, and environmental factors.

But, in spite of overwhelming evidence and studies that establish addiction as a chronic condition, our system of care continues to treat it as an acute issue, much like a common cold or broken bone. It is this failure of the current system that we must challenge, and ultimately change, so individuals and families affected by addiction can experience hope, help and long-term healing from its devastating effects.

Navigate Recovery Gwinnett accomplishes this sea change by engaging stakeholders in all sectors of the community. We invite them to join us in facilitating the changes necessary to provide a continuum of care for addiction. We engage leaders from the medical, education, law enforcement, business, government, faith and recovery communities to collaborate in this crucial transformation.
