Hello, Recovery Friendly Community✅. Below, we have a quote from the National Recovery Workplace Institute on the update of RFWs in the nation:

"The recently released 2026 National Drug Control Strategy from the Office of National Drug Control Policy, out of the Executive Office of the President, formally recognizes the National Recovery Friendly Workplace Institute and the number of nationally certified RFWs as a metric of success in advancing recovery across the United States.

This recognition reflects the growing understanding that this work is fundamentally bipartisan. Supporting individuals in recovery, expanding workforce participation, and addressing substance use disorder are priorities that transcend politics and unite leaders across sectors and parties. Recovery Friendly Workplaces continue to be a practical, results-driven solution embraced nationwide."
