National Recovery Month

Every September, we take time to recognize National Recovery Month—a time to celebrate the strength of those who are walking the path of recovery, honor the families who support them, and raise awareness about the importance of accessible treatment and mental health resources.

Recovery is not a straight line—it’s a journey of courage, resilience, and hope. This month reminds us that healing is possible and that no one has to face addiction or mental health struggles alone.

Why it matters:

• Recovery brings families back together.

• It helps individuals rediscover purpose and joy.

• It reminds communities to show compassion instead of stigma.

How you can support Recovery Month:

• Listen without judgment to those sharing their stories.

• Learn about local resources for mental health and addiction support.

• Celebrate the victories—big and small—of loved ones in recovery.

• Spread awareness to reduce stigma and encourage others to seek help.

Recovery is not just about surviving—it’s about rebuilding, thriving, and living with hope.

If you or someone you love is struggling, know that help is out there, and healing is possible.
