J’s Place, The Jeffrey Dallas Gay Jr. Recovery Center, helps people seeking recovery and those in long-term recovery build relationships and skills that help them thrive, succeed and actually have fun – without the use of substances. 

J’s Place is led by people in long-term recovery and serves those with substance use disorder and their friends and families.  The Center provides meaningful connection opportunities, support services for developing life skills and a safe place for gatherings and wellness activities for those affected by substance use disorder.  

We provide one-on-one peer coaching support with a certified peer recovery coach, employment assistance, resume building, connections to local resources and treatment facilities, and regular social and service events. Additionally, we host multiple support groups such as Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous, Veterans Recovery Support, Parent Support, Eating Disorder Support, and many others. 

 By teaching recovering individuals and their families how to spend healthy, sober time together, J’s Place is making a difference in individuals and their families’ lives.  

As always, the CARES Warm Line is available for peer coaching daily until 11:00pm at (844)326-5400.

J’s Place is a community and as such acknowledges our collective responsibility to public safety while maintaining our fierce commitment to empowering recovery in Hall.

To our peers, you are not alone. Please stay connected.

About Us

The Jeffrey Dallas Gay Recovery Center is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that is dedicated to enhancing the culture of recovery for the people of northeast Georgia.  We provide a place of sanctuary for people in recovery, whether they are newly in recovery or have years of recovery behind them, whether they are recovering from alcoholism or opioid addiction. Here, we grow stronger,  gain support and new skills, and help one another stay in recovery.

The center is named in memory of Jeffrey Dallas Gay, Jr, who died of an opioid overdose. His family has championed support for recovery in our community so that those suffering from substance abuse disorder can live long and fulfilling lives.

Jordan Hussey
Executive Director
Email

Jordan Hussey is a person in long-term recovery and makes it her life’s mission to help others who are facing similar struggles. During her early recovery from Substance Use Disorder, she found many people didn’t talk about recovery, wellness or the resources that are available. Today, Jordan speaks about that struggle and uses her experience to advocate and empower others and to connect them with the resources they may need.

Before joining J’s Place, she worked with the Georgia Council on Substance Abuse as a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit Peer Recovery Coach at Northeast Georgia Medical Center. Prior to this she was a Substance Abuse Tech at Twin Lakes Recovery Center.

She is Certified as a Peer Specialist in Addictive Diseases, Certified Addiction Recovery Empowerment Specialist, in Medication Assisted Treatment and Trauma Informed Care as well as Whole Health Action Management.
