SAMHSA Launches Center For Addiction Recovery Support

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration’s (SAMHSA’s) Office of Recovery, in partnership with One World Recovery Network (OWRN), has launched the Center for Addiction Recovery Support (CARS). CARS offers essential training and technical assistance (TTA) to help organizations better provide peer recovery supports to individuals facing substance use and co-occurring mental health challenges.
