  Mr. KUCINICH. Madam Speaker, I rise today in honor of the founders, 
staff, volunteers and clients of Recovery Resources of Cleveland, Ohio, 
as they celebrate their fifty-fifth anniversary at the 20th Annual 
Bronze Key Gala. Thousands of individuals and their families, seeking 
to break free from the chains of drug and alcohol addiction have been 
helped by Recovery Resources.
  Recovery Resources was founded 55 years ago by two caring and 
dedicated individuals, Martha Baker and her husband, Dick Baker. 
Recovery Resources helps people triumph over mental illness, 
alcoholism, drug and other addictions in Northeast Ohio. The dedicated, 
compassionate, and professional staff at Recovery Resources delivers 
outpatient mental health and substance abuse prevention and treatment 
programs in nine locations and touches 13,000 clients annually in 
Cuyahoga County.
  Treatment programs at Recovery Resources are based on several phases 
of assessment, treatment and aftercare. The programs employ evidence-
based best practices, mental health and psychiatric services, 
individual and group counseling, intensive services for those with dual 
diagnoses, homeless services and case management. In addition to 
intensive individual therapy and education programs, Recovery Resources 
provides special services to HIV/AIDS, Older Adults, Homeless, Women 
and Families.
  Madam Speaker and Colleagues, please join me in honor and recognition 
of the founding members, staff and volunteers of the Recovery Resources 
of Cleveland, Ohio. Their unwavering dedication to lifting the lives of 
thousands of individuals and families onto a platform of safety, 
strength, and recovery steady the foundation of hope and peace 
throughout the entire community.
