National Alcohol and Drug Addiction
Recovery Month
Year after year, National Alcohol and Drug Addiction Recovery Month (Recovery Month) witnesses tremendous success and commitment from people and organizations across the country. For more than 20 years, the campaign has joined together millions of people to celebrate recovery and educate communities about addiction.
This year, Recovery Month, is raising awareness about the increasing level of stress in society and the impact it has on addiction. Stress and other circumstances can lead to the onset or relapse of addiction, particularly among specific groups who face stressful life situations.
Recovery Month also serves to educate the public on substance abuse as a national crisis, that addiction is a treatable disease, and that recovery is possible. Recovery Month highlights the benefits of treatment for not only the affected individual, but for their family, friends, workplace, and society as a whole.
