Celebrating National Recovery Month: A Time for Awareness, Support, and Hope

Every September, we observe National Recovery Month, an important time dedicated to celebrating the gains made by those who are in recovery from substance use disorders. This month-long observance aims to raise awareness, reduce the stigma surrounding mental health and addiction, and promote the message that recovery is possible for everyone.


National Recovery Month highlights the critical need for accessible mental health and addiction treatment services. It serves as a reminder that recovery is not just about overcoming an addiction, but also about regaining balance in life, reconnecting with loved ones, and rebuilding a sense of self-worth. Substance use disorders affect millions of people across the country, but thanks to advances in treatment and ongoing community support, many individuals are able to reclaim their lives and thrive in recovery.
