Bill > HB4780

This bill establishes "Michigan's Day of Recovery" as an annual observance on the second Saturday of September to recognize the challenges and importance of substance use disorder recovery in Michigan. The bill highlights that approximately 638,000 Michiganders experience substance use disorders, but only around 127,600 receive treatment. It emphasizes the critical role of recovery community organizations, which provide long-term support and resources to individuals in recovery, despite being significantly underfunded compared to treatment programs. By creating this official day of recognition, the legislature aims to draw attention to the ongoing struggles of those dealing with substance use disorders and the vital work of recovery support organizations. The bill does not create any legal mandates or funding mechanisms but serves as a symbolic gesture to acknowledge and support individuals working towards recovery and the organizations that assist them.
