Marcie D Gray, a Licensed Substance Use Disorder Counselor and Certified Peer Support Specialist with 22 years’ experience in the field of SUD. After starting my career with the Local Substance Abuse Authority in Southwest Utah, I decided to spread my wings and open a private outpatient treatment program. This endeavor enabled me to gain a wealth of knowledge in regard to management, billing, networking, marketing, policy and procedure and developing treatment curriculums.

The relationships established and the knowledge obtained over the 3 years of owning a business have been a valuable asset as I have worked with USARA to open and maintain a Recovery Community Center where we provide Recovery Support Services to members of the Recovery community. My experience with the local substance abuse authority, owning my own outpatient program, and working with USARA in Southwest Utah has vastly expanded my own personal recovery from substance use disorder and also provided a greater understanding of the need for collaborative efforts throughout agencies within the Rural areas of the Southeast and Southwest Region.
