On June 17, 2009, 150 civilian and military service providers, community stakeholders, service members, veterans, and family members gathered in Forsyth, Georgia. This Georgia Collaborative Meeting was the first step in a year-long process designed to find a definitive answer to the question: How do we pave the way home? The meeting was sponsored by the Georgia Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities, and organized by the Division of Addictive Diseases, in partnership with the Southeast Addiction Technology Transfer Center.
The process begun at this meeting has one overarching goal, the creation of a seamless system of care and support for service members, veterans, and their families. To that end, this monograph is designed to A) build a statewide interagency coalition of military and civilian stakeholders dedicated to finding collaborative ways of addressing the challenges facing Georgia’s returning and transitioning service members and veterans and their families and B) draft a State Action Plan to support the mental health and addictive disease-related needs of veterans of Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) and Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF, the war in Afghanistan).

The Southeast Addiction Technology Transfer Center (Southeast ATTC) located at Morehouse School of Medicine's National Center for Primary Care develops alliances to support and implement best treatment practices, and provides technology transfer activities to increase the awareness, knowledge and skills of practitioners and pre-service professionals.
Southeast ATTC fosters cultural appropriateness, cultivates system change, disseminates addiction information, identifies resources, and promotes science to service treatment approaches that support workforce development and practice improvement. We also sponsor and co-sponsor training events; plan with public and private organizations in partnerships and collaborations; address the special needs of specific populations to support cultural appropriateness; and provide technical assistance to the addiction treatment community.
Southeast ATTC also provides continuing education in addiction treatment to pre-service and practicing professionals. We continue to expand our network of regional substance abuse professionals by recruiting students into the field of addictions and providing relevant academic curriculum and training. Addiction educators, the recovery population, clinicians in the areas of primary care, mental health and HIV/AIDS, community and faith based organizations also receive current information on addiction.
