International Overdose Awareness Day emphasizes the tragic number of people we are losing each year to overdose. Every August, NOMA volunteers create visual displays by placing a purple flag to represent every Alabamian lost to overdose.

This year, we partnered with R.O.S.S. and Partnership for a Drug Free Community to coordinate an overdose awareness campaign which resulted in Redstone Federal Credit Union lighting their main building near downtown Huntsville and several ATMs in purple. Huntsville Mayor Tommy Battle also proclaimed September as National Recovery Month in Huntsville.

Expanded Family Program

We moved into a larger office space to accommodate a growing staff, meetings with stakeholders and a more centrally located space for Family Support Group meetings. Since moving, our Family Support Group has consistently grown and has become a vital part of family healing in our community.  Our weekly Family Support Group held 48 meetings in the past 12 months with an attendance of 530.

In addition, we expanded further into our new office space and can now provide up to three private, peer-supported meeting areas for individuals and families as we introduced our comprehensive, solution-focused family program.

Growing Staff/Support

Events

The 7th Annual End Addiction HSV Walk was a huge success. Big Spring Park was filled with more than 40 treatment, recovery and support organizations and hundreds of people of all ages from across north Alabama to:
  • Bring awareness of the continuing overdose epidemic
  • Reduce the stigma associated with alcohol and substance use disorders.
  • Discover resources for treatment, longterm recovery and grief support
  • Establish new connections
350 Naloxone kits were distributed throughout the past 12 months, including 200 at the End Addiction HSV Walk. ​This year’s keynote speaker was WAFF TV Morning News Anchor Haley Baker, who spoke publicly of her recovery from alcohol addiction for the first time. This event provides an opportunity to people to connect with one another, celebrate recovery, honor those who have died and learn about services and support.

NOMA's third annual Recovery at the River was attended by more than 200 people. This fellowship event provided a safe, sober space for people in recovery and their families. Delicious food, games and entertainment were enjoyed by all at Ditto Landing.
For the eighth year, NOMA is sponsoring the Angel Tree, a flagship tree on Tinsel Trail in Downtown Huntsville. The Angel Tree is adorned by photos of loved ones lost as a result of addiction or accidental overdose. It gives families an opportunity to memorialize their loved one and send a message to visitors of the Tinsel Trail that addiction knows no boundaries.  We expect to surpass the 110+ photos submitted last year. NOMA will also host its annual Candlelight Memorial Service for families to gather at the tree.

Getting our messages out:
135,000 people visited Tinsel Trail at Big Spring Park last year.

For the second year, NOMA is adding another flagship tree to celebrate our strong community of people who are recovering out loud. Last year the Tree of Hope filled quickly 115 ornaments representing more than 746 years of recovery.
