Our Rally for Recovery is a free, family-friendly festival which seeks to raise awareness about drug and alcohol

addiction, mental illness, developmental disabilities, and the journey of recovery. The event is coordinated by the Rhode Island Communities for Addiction Recovery Efforts (RICARES), a grassroots 501c(3) charitable organization in conjunction with the Rhode Island Department of Behavioral Healthcare, treatment providers, advocates, and family, friends and allies of the recovery community.

Imagine being able to hire from a labor pool that never comes to work with a hangover.

A few facts about drugs, alcohol and business:

US businesses lose $81 billion each year due to drug and alcohol impaired employees1 47% of industrial injuries involve alcohol use2 Employees using drugs are 5 times more likely to file for workmans compensation3
While traditional approaches like preemployment screening, testing, and employee rehabilitation can be effective, some businesses have taken a proactive approach to this problem. These companies are supporting and helping build the recovery community, a growing group of people who abstain from the use of drugs and alcohol. The annual Rally for Recovery brings people in long term recovery together to celebrate another year free from drugs and alcohol. This family-friendly, communitybuilding event bolsters the recovery community while at the same time serving as an example to those outside recovery that adults can have fun without drugs and alcohol.
