Faces & Voices of Recovery is the national organization of individuals and organizations joining together with a united voice to advocate for public action to deliver the power, possibility, and proof of recovery from addiction. Faces & Voices of Recovery is working to mobilize, organize, and rally the millions of people in recovery from addiction to alcohol and other drugs, their families, friends, and allies in a campaign to end discrimination; broaden social understanding; and achieve a just response to addiction as a public health crisis.

Foundation for Recovery is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit public charity based in Las Vegas, Nevada. The Foundation’s mission is to make recovery from addiction more available to the addict who still suffers. The Foundation strives to remove barriers by propagating the availability of recovery for addicts and their family and friends. The Foundation continues to challenge the social stereotypes of who is affected by the disease of addiction and the prognosis of recovery. All of the efforts are inspired by the principles exhibited in the lives of addicts who have found and continue to live in recovery. For more information, please visit www.forrecovery.org.

The Foundation for Recovery's $5,000 donation to the Green Valley High School drug testing program for atheletes was covered in an article at the Las Vegas Sun.

The program is the first of its kind at a public school in Nevada. The school plans to test about 30 students each month. All student-athletes are subject to testing, as are any other students whose parents request they be eligible.

The Foundation for Recovery supports programs for the prevention and treatment of drug and alcohol abuse and addiction in the community.
