About us

A program of Home of New Vision, the Washtenaw Recovery Advocacy Project, or WRAP, is a Recovery Community Organization that represents people in recovery, family and friends of recovering persons, and other allies of recovery in Washtenaw County. Our mission is to advocate for those affected by substance use disorder to policy makers at all levels of government, open doors and break down barriers to recovery by promoting multiple pathways, reduce the stigma associated with addiction through the engagement and education of our communities about the truth behind substance use disorder, in turn changing the face of addiction to one of recovery.

In this effort, WRAP hopes to partner with employers in our community to help educate and support them in embracing recovery as a strength to their business. A program of Home of New Vision, WRAP hopes to utilize these partnerships to provide employers with resources that can help both employees in recovery and those who may be struggling with SUD.

Employ Recovery

Thousands of people living in recovery from substance use disorder (SUD) call Washtenaw County home. Members of a thriving and vibrant recovery community, people in recovery are our friends, family, neighbors, and co-workers.

Having such a large community of people with shared lived-experience helps inspire others still struggling, providing hope for positive change. As a larger community, we can support individuals in recovery and show people still struggling that their community cares.

One of the ways we can carry this message of hope is by asking our local businesses and employers to support their employees who are in recovery from SUD. Supporting our co-workers in recovery has positive effects for not only the employee, but the employer as well. Creating a supportive environment can lead to increased productivity, engaged employees, less absenteeism and turn over, more community connection, and increased customer loyalty.

Thank you for your commitment to the recovery community here in Washtenaw County!
