The North Georgia Health District continually strives to help our communities with all public health needs. We recognize that our health departments are not equipped to offer Opioid addiction treatment or substance abuse services, but we do hope this Community and Recovery Resource Guide will lead all who seek this type of assistance in the right direction, whether it be for themselves or for others.
This is the 2023 Edition of the guide. Services, programs, and treatment options are constantly changing, so please refer back to this guide for updates to the listed facilities. This guide will be updated annually.
Please click on the 2023 Community and Recovery Resource Guide graphic below to download the pdf document. The Spanish version has been added, too!
We want to thank all our participating community partners for their collaboration on this guide.
