What is Not One More Alabama? 

In November 2016 a group of family members and professionals began collaborating to address the impact of addiction on families 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, the group that formed 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. The number of deaths from drug overdose has skyrocketed since the prescription drug oxycontin came on the market and was aggressively marketed by Purdue Pharmaceuticals as "non-addictive."

Opioids are highly addictive substances that work in the nervous system of the body or in specific receptors of the brain to reduce the intensity of pain.
 

Overdose deaths involving opioids, including prescription opioids, heroin and synthetic opioids like fentanyl have increased more than six times since 1999. In 2020 during the COVID-19 shut-down of gatherings for months on end, overdose deaths skyrocketed to more than 100,000 - an increase of 28.5% from the 78,056 deaths during the same period last year. See

Like many, we believe that the dramatic increase in overdose deaths is a direct result of the isolation brought on by the pandemic.  As researcher Johann Hari famously concluded in his popular Ted Talk: "The opposite of addiction is not sobriety. The opposite of addiction is connection." Human Connection. 

Partner with us as we support individuals and families who have been impacted by the disease of addiction. We will continue to gain and share education about treatment, recovery and support services. Together we can save lives and lift the stigma associated with addiction and mental illness that often accompanies it.​
