The proper thing to do would be to remove the drywall around the
receps and switches, move the boxes out to where they belong,
re-rock.

It is possible to buy extra long machine screws to hold the
receps, but the recep ears should be supported on stacked washers,
curled #12, or some other ferrule type extender to support the
receps when you go to plug something in. Code wants that gap
between the finish face of the rock and the front of the rough in
box filled with a UL approved extender. I can't find a picture of
one, I call them beer can extension rings, they are metal and very
thin just like a beer can. They are made to protect the
paneling/plywood/void condition from finish wall to rough in box.
These extension rings may not be Borg items.

I installed 5/8" drywall in my garage, and of course cut out
spaces for the existing outlets and switches. The outlets were
flush with the studs, so now are recessed in the drywall. Are
there "extenders" or something I can put on the boxes so the
switches and outlets can be made flush with the drywall surface?
Or how do I do that?
