America is a country built from diverse people coming together.
When millions of Americans stand up together
to make a difference in their community,
they speak with one voice and lives are forever changed.
Recovery Month is a great example
of this collective unity.
In 2010, almost eleven hundred events throughout the country
were posted on the Recovery Month Web site.
Individuals now healed through recovery stood together
in support of one another,
showing that there is hope and that recovery is possible.
This is the very spirit and nature of Recovery Month.
It recognizes the contributions of treatment providers
and promotes the message
that behavioral health is essential to health,
that prevention works, treatment is effective,
and that people CAN and DO recover.
