A Crisis That Touches Everyone
Substance Use Disorder (SUD) is the foremost public health crisis in the United States, affecting an estimated 46.3 million Americans aged 12 and older. It transcends racial, ethnic, geographic, economic, religious, and educational boundaries, impacting people indiscriminately.

For every person with SUD, approximately 5 to 6 family members are significantly affected by the consequences, meaning there could be around 246 million individuals whose lives are impacted.

A 2019 Gallup Poll found that 46% of U.S. adults have grappled with SUD in their families, leading to divorce, child abuse, higher healthcare costs, increased crime rates, and hundreds of thousands of premature deaths annually. The economic loss due to SUD in the U.S. is estimated to exceed $850 billion annually.

My Recovery Day Beginnings
My Recovery Day officially began in 2016 as a Northeast Ohio 501c3 nonprofit whose mission is to develop and provide support and resources for individuals with substance use disorder - giving them the help and hope they need for sustainable recovery. As an organization whose board, staff, and volunteers are either in recovery or have a deep understanding of recovery, we get that it is more than just stopping the drinking and/or drug use. Today, My Recovery Day's programs touch lives locally and nationally.

My Recovery Day Programs
Our programs speak to several of the key determinants of what are commonly referred to as “social determinants of health”. According to the Department of Health and Human Services, social determinants of health are the conditions in the environments where people are born, live, learn, work, play, worship, and age that affect a wide range of health, functioning, and quality-of-life outcomes and risks.
