ROSC

BSAAS is committed to developing a recovery oriented system of care (ROSC) in Michigan. As a result, we are initiating a process to engage stakeholders throughout the state, including people in recovery, family members, providers, and county administrators, in a dialogue to assist in creation of a shared vision to shape the future of Michigan's prevention and treatment system.

To lead the ROSC process in Michigan, BSAAS has formed a Transformation Steering Committee (TSC). See more information at the ROSC TSC Webpage. ROSC Newsletters and Fact Sheets to inform stakeholders are also available on the ROSC TSC Webpage.

Recovery

Recovery, as defined by a Betty Ford Institute Consensus Panel, is "a voluntarily maintained lifestyle comprised of sobriety, personal health and socially responsible living." One of the goals of the Bureau of Substance Abuse & Addiction Services is to help people, with substance use disorders, enter into a state of long-term recovery.
