Long Island Recovery Association (LIRA)

LICADD helped found the Long Island Recovery Association (LIRA) in 2000 as a grassroots organization of people concerned about the rights of both the suffering addict and the recovering community. LIRA brings together recovering addicts and alcoholics, along with families, friends and allies, to advocate for the rights and needs of those affected by the disease of addiction. LIRA members work to de-stigmatize addiction, to achieve treatment parity for recovering addicts and to ensure that a compassionate and well-informed understanding of the nature of the illness of addiction becomes the norm and not the exception among legislators, institutions, family members and the public.
