October 2025 makes 36 years with our fearless leader at the helm!
Would you honor Tyler's service with a one-time or recurring $36 donation? Leave a quick comment for him too!
Tyler is certainly fearless and the driving force that has brought us to become the leading recovery program in Cobb.
If you ask him how we got here, he’ll tell you stories starting from a pot of soup that lived on the stove and metal Vietnam-era surplus bunkbeds to today... a licensed and CARF accredited provider, an expanded men’s campus, and new programs like Family Services, Medically Assisted Treatment, and The Extension Inside. And the best part, a thriving network of OVER 1,200 Extension Alumni!
Tyler has always led us to the next right thing, and we know his vision for recovery in Cobb will continue to guide us in transforming lives!

Join us today in recognizing International Overdose Awareness Day — a crisis that doesn't just shatter families, but communities.

The losses from an overdose go deeper than one person, one family, or one neighborhood. They ripple out into classrooms, workplaces, and spaces we all share. They cross borders between cities, states, and nations. Our community is One Big Family — we share in the pain of loss, but we also share in the power to change what comes next for so many.
