At Liberty House Recovery Center, we believe recovery is about more than treatment alone — it’s about connection, advocacy, community, and creating spaces where people feel seen and supported. That is why we are proud to participate in and sponsor the 2026 Unite to Face Addiction Michigan (UFAM) Rally as a Gold Sponsor. The annual event brings together individuals in recovery, families, treatment professionals, advocates, and organizations from across Michigan to stand united against addiction and stigma.
The 2026 UFAM Rally marks the organization’s 10th anniversary and will take place on May 14, 2026, at the Michigan State Capitol in Lansing from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM. The rally serves as one of Michigan’s largest recovery-focused gatherings, centered around hope, education, awareness, prevention, and long-term recovery support.
What Is UFAM Michigan?
Unite to Face Addiction Michigan (UFAM) is a grassroots organization dedicated to supporting individuals and families affected by substance use disorders throughout Michigan. Their mission focuses on advocacy, education, reducing stigma, and creating a stronger statewide recovery community.
Each year, the UFAM Rally creates a powerful environment where people from all walks of life come together to share stories, honor loved ones, celebrate recovery milestones, and advocate for meaningful change in addiction treatment and mental health support systems. The event includes speakers, performers, recovery resources, community organizations, memorial tributes, educational opportunities, and recovery-focused activities throughout the day.
For many attendees, the rally represents something deeply personal. It is a reminder that recovery is possible and that nobody has to walk through addiction alone.
Why Liberty House Recovery Center Is Participating
At Liberty House Recovery Center, we understand firsthand how important community support is during recovery. Healing does not happen in isolation. Recovery becomes stronger when individuals feel connected to people who genuinely understand their experiences and believe in their future.
By participating in the UFAM Rally 2026, Liberty House is helping support a larger movement focused on breaking the stigma surrounding addiction and mental health challenges. Too many individuals still struggle in silence because of fear, shame, or misunderstanding. Events like UFAM help create open conversations around addiction while showing people that recovery is real, visible, and worth fighting for.
As a Gold Sponsor, Liberty House is honored to stand alongside other organizations and advocates working to improve access to care and support across Michigan.
The Importance of Recovery Advocacy
Substance use disorders continue to affect individuals and families throughout Michigan and across the country. While treatment and clinical care are essential, long-term recovery also depends on community support, education, and advocacy.
Recovery advocacy events like UFAM help:
- Reduce the stigma surrounding addiction and mental health
- Increase awareness about treatment and recovery resources
- Encourage individuals to seek help earlier
- Create stronger support systems for families
- Honor those lost to addiction
- Celebrate individuals thriving in recovery
- Unite treatment providers, advocates, and communities
One of the most powerful aspects of the UFAM Rally is the reminder that recovery is not rare. Every person who attends, shares their story, volunteers, or supports the event helps shift public perception and bring hope to others who may still be struggling.
Building Stronger Recovery Communities in Michigan
Michigan’s recovery community continues to grow stronger because of organizations, advocates, families, and individuals who are willing to stand together publicly and support one another. The UFAM Rally helps create a sense of unity that extends far beyond a single day.
At Liberty House Recovery Center, we are committed to helping individuals build meaningful, sustainable lives in recovery through compassionate and evidence-based addiction treatment. We know that healing involves more than simply stopping substance use. It requires rebuilding confidence, strengthening relationships, developing healthy coping strategies, and finding connection again.
Community events like UFAM reinforce these principles by reminding individuals that recovery communities exist throughout Michigan and that support is available long after treatment ends.
