The House Resolution No. proposed by Representatives Pavlov and others aims to declare September 13, 2025, as Recovery Day in Michigan. This initiative highlights the significant issue of substance use disorders affecting approximately 638,000 residents in the state, with only about 127,600 receiving treatment. The resolution emphasizes the importance of long-term recovery support, which is often provided by recovery community organizations. These organizations play a vital role in assisting individuals in achieving and maintaining sobriety, offering resources at a lower cost than traditional treatment options.

The resolution also acknowledges September as National Recovery Month and expresses support for individuals striving for lifelong recovery from substance use disorders. It calls for greater respect and appreciation for the ongoing efforts of recovery community organizations in Michigan. Additionally, the resolution includes a provision to transmit a copy to the Blue Water Recovery and Outreach Center, recognizing their contributions to the recovery community.
