We’re thrilled to announce the grand opening of the Recovery Action Network of Michigan (RANMI) Recovery Community Center—a new welcoming space dedicated to supporting individuals on their journey of recovery from substance use disorder.

A Place to Connect, Heal, and Grow

Located in Wayne, Michigan, our community center offers a safe, supportive environment where people in recovery, their families, and allies can gather for fellowship, education, and empowerment. This center is designed to provide resources, workshops, social events, and peer support that reinforce long-term recovery and well-being.

Grand Opening Event Highlights

On June 5th, 2025, RANMI hosted a grand opening and open house that brought together recovery advocates, community members, local leaders, and supporters for an afternoon of celebration and connection.

Guests were invited to tour the new facility, meet Executive Director Allison Herrst, connect with RANMI staff and board members, and visit interactive stations to learn more about RANMI’s mission, services, and recovery-centered programming.

Substance use disorder doesn’t just affect the individual—it impacts families, communities, and systems. At RANMI, we believe in whole-family healing and the power of recovery to restore connection and purpose. This center is not only a professional achievement, but a deeply personal milestone for our Executive Director and her loved ones.

Our Vision for the Future

This center is more than just a building—it’s a hub for hope, healing, and community empowerment. We aim to create a recovery-oriented system of care that embraces all pathways and promotes dignity, inclusion, and support. Whether you’re just starting your recovery journey or have been in long-term recovery, our doors are open.
