National Recovery Month is a national commemoration celebrated in September to educate Americans about how substance use treatment and mental health services may help people with mental and\/or substance use disorders live a healthy and happy life. The focus of the observance is to recognize the accomplishments of individuals in recovery, just as we recognize the accomplishments of those managing other health problems such as hypertension, diabetes, asthma, and heart disease. This observance conveys the positive message that behavioral health is important for general health, that prevention works, that treatment works, and that individuals can and do recover (NAADAC.org, n.d.).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The theme of National Recovery Month in 2021, \u201cRecovery is For Everyone: Every Person, Every Family, Every Community,\u201d reminds people in recovery and those who assist them that they are not alone on their road to recovery. Everyone’s path is unique, yet we’re all in this together. Recovery Month will continue to educate others about substance use disorders and co-occurring illnesses, the efficacy of treatment and recovery programs, and the possibility of recovery (NAADAC.org, n.d.).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
