What is National Recovery Month?
National Recovery Month is an annual observance held every September to celebrate the achievements of individuals in recovery from substance use disorders and mental health issues. It is a time to recognize the hard work and dedication of those who have achieved sobriety and to support and raise awareness about the importance of treatment and recovery services.
History and Purpose
Established in 1989 by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), National Recovery Month aims to highlight the progress made in the field of addiction treatment and mental health care. It seeks to educate the public about the realities of recovery, reduce the stigma associated with substance use and mental health disorders, and encourage individuals to seek help.
Key Themes
Each year, National Recovery Month has a specific theme that focuses on various aspects of recovery. These themes provide a framework for events and activities that promote recovery, resilience, and wellness. Themes often highlight the importance of community support, the role of healthcare professionals, and the benefits of prevention and treatment.
