Our Year of Action wasn’t just about events, it was about building programs, partnerships, and systems capable of creating long-term change. In 2025, Mobilize Recovery invested deeply in infrastructure, innovation, and national collaboration, helping set a new standard for what effective, community-centered recovery support looks like.

Expanding Recovery Support in Emergency Departments

Through our partnership with the Independent Emergency Room Physicians (IERP) Trust, we launched and supported Recovery Navigation & Peer Support Services across five organizations in Utah, North Carolina, Colorado, South Carolina, and Nevada.

These programs help bridge the gap between crisis care and long-term recovery. Early outcomes show:

• 700+ direct service engagements
• 630 individuals accepted peer support
• 255 accepted medication-assisted treatment (MAT)
• 274 continued MAT (tracked post-discharge)
• 393 family/support system engagements

This work reinforces a central truth: recovery outcomes improve when people are met with compassion and support at the moment they need it most.

Scaling Overdose Prevention Nationwide

Together with Direct Relief International, Mobilize Recovery continued to strengthen harm reduction efforts across the country. In 2025 alone, we distributed 120,000 free doses of naloxone, bringing our total to 982,000 doses distributed since 2019.

Central to this initiative are our community based partners, including harm reduction groups, recovery organizations, and peer support networks — the local leaders best positioned to save lives in their communities.

A Landmark Partnership With Google

Our strategic partnership with Google on the Recover Together site delivered an unprecedented level of visibility for the recovery movement in 2025. This collaboration placed the conversation around recovery on one of the world's most viewed platforms, providing essential validation and normalizing the recovery journey for millions of individuals and families.

This partnership didn’t just raise awareness; it helped normalize the recovery journey and brought national attention to our core initiatives.

A Digital Movement at Scale

Mobilize Recovery’s digital platforms served as one of our most powerful engines for connection in 2025. Across digital channels such as social media, email, text, and our websites, supporters engaged at remarkable levels:

• 13.1M social media impressions
• 3.8K new social media followers
• 126K website visits
• 3.3K new website signups
• 5.7K online event RSVPs
• 3.3K digital advocacy messages sent to elected officials
• 1.9M emails sent to 64K recipients
• 109K text messages sent to 15.7K recipients

This digital infrastructure ensures that no matter where people live, help and community are within reach.

A Landmark Year for Recognition for Excellence

2025 was also a breakthrough year for organizational recognition. Mobilize Recovery earned a prestigious 4-Star Charity Navigator rating — the highest possible score for accountability, transparency, and financial stewardship.

We were also honored with seven Anthem Awards, including being named Small Nonprofit of the Year, recognizing our leadership in storytelling, advocacy, and mission-driven impact.

A Year That Raised the Bar

From transformative partnerships to national visibility, 2025 represented a major evolution in how Mobilize Recovery drives change. These milestones are more than accomplishments, they are the foundation for what comes next.

And we’re just getting started.
