National Alcohol and Drug Addiction Recovery Month

Every year, towns, counties, and states around the country observe National Alcohol and Drug Addiction Recovery Month (Recovery Month) in September. This year, the 19th annual Recovery Month recognizes the impact that real people and real stories have on recovery, and celebrates those who have worked to advance the treatment and recovery landscape.

In 2008, the theme highlights the people for whom treatment and long-term recovery have given a renewed outlook on life. The community is invited to take part in the theme, "Join the Voices for Recovery: Real People, Real Recovery," and spread the word that addiction is a medical illness and that treatment is effective and recovery is possible. By getting involved, you can help more people on a path of recovery to lead more fulfilling lives.

All of us know someone with a substance use disorder, whether that person is a family member, friend, colleague, or neighbor. Those who have lived through these experiences have the most compelling stories to tell and can truly make a difference in helping others seek treatment. With that in mind, this year's Recovery Month celebration highlights the unique stories of each person in long-term recovery.

For each day in September, the StepUP® Program will provide a fact, meditation, or other recovery related "tid-bit."
