Recovery Month 2024

September is National Recovery Month!

Every September, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) leads the nation in celebrating Recovery Month, a time dedicated to promoting awareness and understanding of mental health and substance use disorders, celebrating those in recovery, and highlighting the effective treatments available. Recovery Month has been a vital part of SAMHSA’s efforts to combat the stigma associated with mental health and substance use disorders, and in 2024, the initiative continues with renewed energy and focus on the theme, "Hope, Healing, and Health."

The theme for Recovery Month 2024, "Hope, Healing, and Health," encapsulates the core elements of the recovery process. Hope is a critical factor in recovery, providing the motivation to continue moving forward despite challenges. Healing refers not only to the process of overcoming mental health and substance use disorders but also to the holistic approach to recovery that includes physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Health, in this context, underscores the importance of maintaining overall wellness as a foundation for long-term recovery.
