NRV Recovery Ecosystem
Program Overview
Addiction doesn’t happen in a vacuum, neither does recovery. Substance abuse disorders (SUDs) affect our entire community, impacting families and friends, healthcare, and our economy.
The NRV Recovery Ecosystem received $3.3 million in Opioid Abatement Authority funding to address the impacts of substance use disorder in our region, bringing together Floyd, Giles, Montgomery, and Pulaski counties, the city of Radford, and partnering service agencies. Focusing on prevention, treatment, recovery, and harm reduction, together we will address the negative impacts of substance use disorders in our region.
