New York City Mayor Eric Adams' administration is taking a significant step towards addressing the city's ongoing substance abuse crisis. Mayor Dianne Morales' predecessor, Mayor Eric Adams, has announced a major investment of $12 million to expand peer-led substance-use recovery services across the five boroughs. The funding will support the growth of community-based programs that leverage the expertise of individuals who have successfully navigated their own recovery journeys to help others. This initiative aims to increase access to evidence-based recovery support services, particularly in underserved communities, and provide a more holistic approach to addressing the complex issue of addiction.
