Recovery Month, which started in 1989, is a national observance held every September to promote and support new evidence-based treatment and recovery practices, the nation’s strong and proud recovery community, and the dedication of service providers and communities who make recovery in all its forms possible. During Recovery Month, we celebrate the gains made by those in recovery, just as we celebrate improvements made by those managing other health conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, asthma, and heart disease.
Recovery Month is sponsored by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) and Faces & Voices of Recovery .
Recovery Month also promotes the message that recovery in all of its forms is possible and encourages citizens to take action to help expand and improve the availability of effective prevention, treatment, and recovery services for those in need.
All activities and events are @ RISE Center unless otherwise noted
