How can we help you?
Our all volunteer Board of Directors has been working hard to spread the word about the disease of addiction. Our goal is to save lives, lift the stigma of substance use disorders and walk alongside those in crisis until there is #NotOneMoreAlabama. Here's a glimpse of what we've been doing with the support of our community.
What is Not One More Alabama?
In November 2016 a group of family members and professionals began collaborating to address the epidemic of substance abuse and addiction in the state of Alabama. Realizing that incarceration, shame and detachment, and well as Just Say No or DARE campaigns had good intentions but produced extremely poor results, Not One More Alabama decided to step forward and share their personal experiences, knowledge, hope and support with those impacted by the disease of addiction.
According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), opioid deaths continued to surge in 2015, surpassing 30,000 for the first time in recent history. That marks an increase of nearly 5,000 deaths from 2014. Deaths involving powerful synthetic opiates, like Fentanyl, rose by nearly 75% from 2014 to 2015. More people died from heroin-related causes than from gun homicides in 2015. As recently as 2007, gun homicides outnumbered heroin deaths by more than 5 to 1.
Partner with us as we support families that have been affected by this disease, educate those who have not, and assist those in need of recovery services. Together we can save lives and change the stigma associated with addiction.

Resource Trailer to Assist Parents in Recognizing Signs of Abuse

July 5, 2018 - Huntsville, AL - Not One More Alabama is proud to announce the dedication of the new resource trailer, The Discovery Room, created to assist parents in the battle against drug use by their children. In a partnership with Leadership Huntsville Small Group, this trailer is designed to simulate a typical teenager’s bedroom. Parents will be invited into the trailer to “discover” some of the telltale signs of a child using and hiding drugs of all kinds. It demonstrates the need for parents to remain vigilant and aware of the everyday activities of their child. Small changes in their bedroom can be an indicator of serious changes in their behavior.
