Livingston County Substance Use Disorder Treatment and Prevention Workgroup

08/25/2026

In recognition of Recovery Month this September, the Livingston County Substance Use Disorder - Prevention, Treatment, and Recovery Workgroup of the Human Services Collaborative Body is proud to announce a calendar of events and activities aimed to promote recovery from substances.

Each September, the workgroup works collaboratively to host events to foster connection, educate, and encourage conversations that recovery from substances is possible and that help and support is available. There are a variety of events for different age groups and interests.

“We are excited to share these events with the broader community to share that recovery happens everyday in our community and that there are resources available.” You don’t need to be alone in the disease or dealing with it, we recover together. Come and enjoy some or all of our events this month!” states Lou Ann Lathrop, SUD Workgroup Chair.

All events during Recovery Month are free and open to the public, no registration required. Additional event details and the event calendar can be found by visiting the SUD Workgroup website at: https://milivcounty.gov/hscb/substance-use-disorders-treatment-prevention-workgroup/

The holiday season can be a challenging time for individuals in recovery. Increased social pressure and the availability of alcohol and drugs can trigger anxiety and stress. To support those in recovery, it's crucial to build a strong support network, including family, friends, peer support groups, and organizations.

The Substance Use Disorder Treatment and Prevention Workgroup in Livingston County has developed a calendar of sober events and meetings to foster community and provide a positive environment for individuals in recovery. By participating in these events and connecting with others, individuals can find strength and support during the holiday season.
