The House concurrent resolution No. R-48 designates February 19, 2025, as Recovery Day at the State House in Vermont. This resolution highlights the significant issue of substance use disorders in the state, noting that approximately 56,000 Vermonters are affected. It recognizes the efforts of the Vermont Association for Mental Health and Addiction Recovery (VAMHAR) and Recovery Partners of Vermont, both of which play crucial roles in advocating for and supporting individuals on their recovery journeys. The resolution emphasizes the importance of community support and peer connections in achieving successful recovery outcomes.

On Recovery Day, individuals engaged in the recovery process will gather at the State House to celebrate their achievements and educate the General Assembly about recovery support initiatives. The theme for Recovery Day 2025, "Recovery Rooted in Community Connection," underscores the vital role that community plays in the recovery process. The resolution also directs the Secretary of State to send copies to Recovery Partners of Vermont and VAMHAR, further promoting awareness and support for recovery efforts in the state.
