September is recognized as National Recovery Month. It recognizes the evidence-based treatment and recovery practices that support a strong & proud recovery community. It also recognizes the service providers and community members who make recovery in all its forms possible. The theme for this year is "Every Person. Every Family. Every Community." Recovery is a personal choice but having support can make change possible.
