People Living in Recovery is a Recovery Community Organization (RCO). In addition to being Certified Addiction Recovery Empowerment Specialists (CARES), certified through the Georgia Council on Substance Abuse, staff also have lived experience with substance use disorders, homelessness, mental health challenges and/or incarceration. This dynamic affords staff the ability to establish empathetic and effective relationships with those seeking services (i.e. peers), and provide wrap-around support (before, during, and after treatment) to those pursuing long-term recovery.
