State Rep. Joseph Pavlov announced Tuesday, September 9, that $10 million in state funding has been secured to support substance use recovery services around the state, strengthening recovery efforts for individuals and families impacted by substance use disorders.
Pavlov, a Republican from Smiths Creek who represents northern St. Clair County and Sanilac County’s Worth Township, said the investment will allow the Michigan Association of Recovery Community Organizations (MARCO) and similar programs to compete for grants to expand their partnerships with local recovery groups and provide more access to support, education, and community-based programs throughout our community. The funding will allow substance abuse treatment organizations to reach more people, strengthen local partnerships, and deliver services to families who may otherwise lack access to recovery resources.
“This is about giving people hope and making sure no one has to walk the road to recovery alone,” Pavlov said. “With this vote, we were able to give more people that chance at a better future.”
