FAVOR Greenville, a chapter of FAVOR SC, was organized in 2004 after a county-wide study revealed a significant deficit in effective treatment services to meet the needs of more than 22,000 citizens age 12 and older who are suffering from substance use disorders in the county. Membership is open to any interested citizen who is committed to the goals of FAVOR and willing to give time and resources. Currently, there are 197 members of FAVOR Greenville, including the 14 member board and the 39 member Resource Team. The Resource Team is composed of community leaders and professionals in the field of addiction treatment and related agencies. If you would like to join FAVOR Greenville, please contact janepressly@charter.net.

FAVOR Greenville is currently advocating for a full continuum of effective recovery-based treatment services for the Upstate; the establishment of a Recovery Action Center to provide recovery support services to those in early recovery; and a voter registration campaign that is kicking off at the Livingston Taylor concert on September 13.

Organized in April of 2006 by grass roots advocates, FAVOR SC is working to end stigma and discrimination, broaden social understanding, and rally those in recovery, and those who support recovery, to speak as one voice across the state of South Carolina and nationally. FAVOR SC is a not-for-profit 501(c) 3 organization with five chapters: Greenville, Midlands, Pee Dee, Tri-County (York, Chester, Lancaster) and Charleston.
