“We seek to give a political voice to recovered drug users and their organisations showing that recovery is possible, we will promote recovery as a viable and sustainable option, for both the individual and for society” – says Boro Goic, President of Celebrate Recovery, Bosnia and Herzegovinia.
Fay Watson EURAD Secretary General adds “RUN will promote the social integration of recovered drug users in areas such as employment, housing and health, as we find across Europe these more intensive services for drug users are not being adequately provided”.
Building a more comprehensive approach to Drugs Policy RUN advocates for recovery-oriented policies in International, European and national political forums demonstrating how recovery can counteract the wider harm caused by drug use to individuals, families and communities.
RUN is now seeking new members to join the network, and encourage both organisations supporting drug users in recovery, as well as former drug users to join at this time. No fee is required and to join, all that is needed is to send your contact e-mail address to [email protected]
RUN will host an event in the European Parliament on 2nd October 2013 on the need to address drug user’s wider social needs. Members signing up to RUN now will receive a free invitation to this exclusive event.
