Ten16 Recovery Network’s new Center for Recovery and Wellness facility is in the works in Midland.

Dow Chemical Company Foundation, Midland Area Community Foundation, The Charles J. Strosacker Foundation, The Herbert H. and Grace A. Dow Foundation and The Rollin M. Gerstacker Foundation, all CMF members, are helping to fund the new facility.

"We are so grateful for the support of the foundations, and excited to be offering this new facility soon," Sam Price, president and CEO of Ten16 said. "Their collective support says so much about our community's commitment to a strong quality of life for all. There are a lot of people in Midland who are struggling. Being able to give folks a welcoming, safe, sober place to gather as they are rebuilding their lives is a tremendous gift."

Ten16's Recovery Center model emphasizes both outpatient counseling and peer support as a part of the recovery process. People work with a team of counselors and recovery coaches -- a person in long-term recovery themselves who can offer guidance and support based on their own experience. The center offers drop-in services and scheduled programs in a comfortable, welcoming atmosphere.

"Dow and their employee volunteers have been a long-time supporter of the Ten16 organization. The work they do on a daily basis is critical to addressing the addiction and mental health crisis in our region," Rob Vallentine, president, The Dow Chemical Company Foundation said.

"The Midland Area Community Foundation was pleased to support Ten16's Center for Recovery and Wellness when it was first established,” Sharon Mortensen, president and CEO of the Midland Area Community Foundation said. “We are excited to see that work continuing as they move to their new home in our neighborhood.”
