FOR-NY HOSTS “STAND UP FOR RECOVERY DAY”
Group Calls for Greater Investment in Addiction Recovery Support Services
More than four hundred recovery advocates from communities throughout the state converged on the state capital today to call for new, better and more recovery support services (RSS) for the nearly 2 million New Yorkers living in recovery from the chronic disease of addiction to alcohol and other drugs; as well as for their families.
Specifically the group called for:
- A Recovery Community and Outreach Center (RCOC), Recovery Community Organization (RCO), Recovery Youth Clubhouse (YCH), Peer Advocate, Recovery Coach, and Family Support Recovery Navigator in every county throughout the state
- The establishment of Recovery High Schools and Collegiate Recovery Programs
- The implementation of an Opioid Addiction Treatment and Recovery Fee
- Certification of Recovery Housing that Supports Medication-Assisted Treatment & Recovery
