Subject: Comments by Dan Burley ... Project Coordinator for YPR Orange County Chapter
The purpose of the following comments is to make the Tustin City Council aware of free recovery
communities dedicated to helping adults of all ages, but particularly young adults succeed in their
long-term drug and alcohol recovery.
Drug and alcohol addiction have become epidemic in America and particularly in Orange County with
the explosion of the Opioid crisis. There are multiple paths to drug and alcohol recovery available in
Orange County and many resources are free. 12 Step Programs, Faith Based, Smart Recovery and
Medical Assist are some of the pathways.
Young People in Recovery or YPR is a nonprofit organization in Orange County dedicated to
administering free resources for long term recovery to anyone in Orange County. Recovery support
communities such as YPR and The Phoenix Organization based in Newport are dedicated to helping
young and older adults thrive and live a drug and alcohol-free lifestyle.
