Since early 2020, each of us, our families and our communities have faced harrowing challenges due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Indeed, we have been deeply impacted in many ways that include everything from deprivation and financial loss to dire illnesses and even the death of loved ones. Fortunately, we are beginning to see signs of recovery from this pandemic; however, we still have a long way to go. Please take this survey to help us know how we, your local public health partners, can better support this recovery and help everyone get back to life-as-usual more quickly here in North Georgia. Thank you!

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.
