  Mr. LONG. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Sigma House of 
Springfield, Inc. under its new name, Clarity Recovery and Wellness.
  First opened in 1977, Sigma House of Springfield, Inc. was the area's 
first addiction treatment center. Focused on individualized long-term 
treatment of substance abuse, it provided 1,150 units of treatment in 
its first 19 months. Over the last 25 years, the center has expanded to 
include four facilities. In 2012 alone, it treated nearly 12,000 
people.
  Treatment and long-term recovery from substance abuse can offer a 
renewed outlook on life for those who are addicted and their family 
members, which can lead to more productive and fulfilling lives and an 
improved quality of life for the entire community.
  Resources for treatment and recovery provide important assets for the 
communities of Springfield, Branson and surrounding counties, and I am 
proud that Clarity Recovery and Wellness remains committed to providing 
quality care to those in need of rehabilitation services.
