TENNESSEES FAITH BASED INITIATIVE

New initiative offers framework for Tennessee Faith-Based organizations to join our recovery network.

It’s an opportunity for places of worship and fellowship to support and strengthen families in their

communities by offering recovery programs to help individuals beat their addictions.

The department’s Division of Substance Abuse Services is actively engaging faith communities and

organizations as a means of increasing outreach, educational activities, access, and visibility to people

seeking substance abuse services.

Our growing recovery community is seeking new partners who are open to:

Viewing addiction as a treatable disease, not just a moral issue
Embracing and supporting people in recovery and walking with them on their journey
Having a visible outreach in the community
Having spiritual/pastoral support
Disseminating Information
Having or hosting recovery support groups
