Not One More Alabama condemns the ongoing violence and discrimination against our black brothers and sisters. The cries of George Floyd, while under the knee of an officer sworn to protect him, have shaken us from stunned silence to a plan of action.
Our non-profit is made up of black, brown and white men and women who came together with first-hand experience of the devastating effects of addiction. We have shared intimate stories with one another yet, until now, we have avoided the uncomfortable subject of discrimination. We will no longer be silent about race discrimination and disproportionate access to addiction treatment. We know that addiction does not discriminate, and we know that treatment does.
As an organization, we are coming together to create actionable plans to develop programming, provide financial support, give voice to the oppressed, and better understand the obstacles that minorities face.
We will not stand by while others stand on our brothers and sisters. We vow to push forward until there is Not One More Alabama man, woman or child without equal access to addiction treatment.

Meet our Parent Coaches!
Our community gained 17 amazing Parent & Family Peer-to-Peer Coaches thanks to our recent intensive training by the addiction and recovery experts with Partnership for Drug-Free Kids and Center for Motivation and Change.

A BIG thank you to The National Children's Advocacy Center for the use of their beautiful Training Center and to Chuppertime Catering, Bigfoot Little Donuts, & The Lioce Group for their gracious donation of food for our coaches and trainers!
2020 Parent Coaches!
Our all volunteer Board of Directors works hard to learn, support and educate others about substance use disorders. Our goal is to remove the stigma of addiction and support 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.
