September is Recovery Month

In its 25th year, Recovery Month promotes the benefits of prevention, treatment, and recovery for mental and substance use disorders. This year’s theme, “Join the Voices for Recovery: Speak Up, Reach Out,” encourages people to openly speak up about mental and substance use disorders. Recovery Month spreads the positive message that behavioral health is essential to health, prevention works, treatment is effective and people can and do recover.
