Recovery Month
Recovery Month is being celebrated every year during the month of September. It started in 1989 under the name of Treatment Works! Month, to honour and acknowledge the efforts of addiction professionals. In 1998, It was renamed to Alcohol and Drug Addiction Recovery Month in an effort to not only honour the addiction professionals, but to also draw attention and focus to the work and efforts of individuals suffering from substance use disorder.
The core purpose of this month-long event is to educate people on mental health and substance use disorders along with celebrating the recovery of individuals who are doing good in life after the treatment.
Theme:
The theme for this year’s recovery month is: “ Join the Voices for Recovery: It’s Worth It”.
Hero Health Care Recovery Month
The purpose of celebrating recovery month is to promote societal benefits of prevention, treatment and recovery for substance use and mental disorders. The goal of celebrating this event is to educate people that addiction treatment and mental health services can enable those with mental health or substance use disorder to live a healthy and normal life. The celebration of this event spreads the positive message that behavioural health is essential to overall health, prevention works, treatment is effective, and people can and do recover.
Each September, thousands of prevention, treatment and recovery programs and services across the globe celebrate their successes and share their client’s stories with friends, colleagues and on social media platforms to educate the people about recovery. These success stories often go unnoticed, therefore recovery month provides a vehicle to celebrate those milestones and accomplishments.
