Throughout National Recovery Month in September, the Georgia Recovers Bus will make 63 stops in communities across Georgia, including one in Liberty County on Wednesday.

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 and highlights local peers in recovery, families impacted by addiction, and allies who support recovery.

“I am excited for the Georgia Recovers Bus Tour,” Commissioner Tanner said. “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.’”

"The Georgia Council for Recovery is honored to serve as the exclusive statewide partner for The Georgia Recovers Bus Tour with DBHDD,” said Laurisa Guerrero, executive director of the Georgia Council for Recovery. “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.”

The bus tour will stop at the Liberty County Performing Arts Center on Wednesday from 10 a.m.-12 noon.
