September marks National Recovery Month. The tagline, “Every Person, Every Family, Every Community,” emphasizes that recovery is possible for all Americans. Treatment can save a life and can help people struggling with substance use disorders by counteracting addiction’s powerful effects on their brain and behavior. The overall goal of treatment is to return people to productive functioning in their family, workplace, and community.
Recovery Month celebrates the gains made by those in recovery from substance use disorder. Read the new CDC feature which promotes and supports understanding treatment and recovery options (facesandvoicesofrecovery.org, 2022).
Hashtag: #ReoveryMonth #RecoveryIsForEveryone #RecoveryisPossible
This week we welcome Rick Bingham, fellow helping professional, to share a story he calls The Purple Bandana.
