What is National Recovery Month?

National Recovery Month is an annual observance held in September to raise awareness and celebrate the journey of individuals overcoming mental health and substance use disorders. It aims to promote understanding, reduce stigma, and highlight the importance of access to treatment and support services. The month encourages communities to come together, share stories of recovery, and support those on the path to wellness, fostering a sense of hope and empowerment for individuals and families affected by addiction and mental health challenges.
