For more than 20 years, National Recovery Month
has honored and celebrated persons in recovery and helped
to educate and inform others about the process of recovery.
We know that almost 1 in 10 Americans struggle with a
substance use disorder and that about 1 in 5 Americans has
a mental health problem.
Treatment and recovery are the pathway forward for these
individuals, a pathway that leads to improved family
relationships, health and well-being, hope for the future, and
purpose in the sustainment of their recovery.
Throughout the country, millions of Americans have been making
their voices heard by telling their story of recovery from
mental and substance use disorders.
They know that they are not alone in their journey of
recovery; that family, friends, and entire communities are
walking alongside them.
More and more, we can all see that prevention works,
treatment is effective, and people can and do recover.
Recovery... it's worth it!
