Paulding RCO extends our sincere appreciation to Governor Brian Kemp for officially proclaiming September 2026 as National Recovery Month in Georgia.

This proclamation recognizes that recovery is possible, treatment and peer support work, and more than 900,000 Georgians are living in recovery from addiction. It also reminds us that education and awareness are essential to reducing the stigma and discrimination experienced by individuals and families affected by substance use disorder.

Thank you, Governor Kemp, for recognizing the strength of Georgia’s recovery community and honoring the individuals, families, peer specialists, treatment professionals, and community partners who make recovery possible every day.

Together, we will continue spreading hope, supporting long-term recovery, and reminding every Georgian:

Recovery is real. Recovery is possible. We do recover!

💜 SEPTEMBER IS NATIONAL RECOVERY MONTH! 💜
Paulding Recovery Community Organization is proud to join communities across the nation in celebrating National Recovery Month 2026!
This month, we celebrate every person who has chosen recovery, every family that has found hope again, and every individual who continues to take life one day at a time. We also recognize the peer support specialists, treatment providers, first responders, community partners, families, and advocates who work every day to remind people that recovery is possible.
At Paulding RCO, we believe that lived experience has the power to create hope. Recovery is not a journey that anyone should have to walk alone. Whether someone needs peer support, connection to treatment and community resources, family support, reentry assistance, or simply a safe place where someone understands—we are here to walk alongside them.
National Recovery Month is about more than celebrating sobriety. It is about celebrating restored families, second chances, renewed purpose, stronger communities, and lives transformed through recovery.
Throughout September, we encourage Paulding County to stand with us as we:
💜 Celebrate people in recovery
💜 Support individuals who are still struggling
💜 Honor families and loved ones
💜 Recognize the power of peer support
💜 Reduce stigma surrounding substance use and mental health
💜 Remind our community that there are MANY pathways to recovery
To everyone walking the recovery journey: We see you. We celebrate you. Keep going.
Together, we can continue building a community where recovery is supported, celebrated, and accessible to everyone.
RECOVERY IS REAL. RECOVERY IS POSSIBLE. AND RECOVERY LIVES HERE. 💜

💜 International Overdose Awareness Day – Paulding & Polk Counties 💜
What an incredible and meaningful day! We are grateful for the success of our Overdose Awareness Day events in both Paulding and Polk Counties. Our communities came together to remember the lives lost to overdose, support the families and loved ones who carry their memory, and remind those who are still struggling that recovery is possible and help is available.
A very special shout-out and THANK YOU to the Georgia Department of Public Health (DPH), Highland Rivers Behavioral Health, and Narcotics Anonymous for joining us and standing alongside our recovery community. Your partnership, presence, resources, and continued commitment to individuals and families impacted by substance use make a difference in our communities.
We are also thankful for every community partner, peer support specialist, person in recovery, family member, volunteer, and community member who showed up. Every conversation, connection, resource shared, and dose of Narcan distributed creates another opportunity to save a life and connect someone to hope.
Our work doesn't stop with Overdose Awareness Day. We will continue working throughout Paulding and Polk Counties to reduce stigma, increase overdose education and prevention, connect individuals and families to resources, and remind our communities that no one has to walk the road to recovery alone.
💜 Today we remembered those we have lost. We stood beside those still struggling. We honored the families impacted by overdose. And we celebrated the hope that comes through recovery.
Together, we can save lives. Recovery is real. Recovery is possible. Hope is alive. 💜
