September is National Alcohol and Drug Addiction
Recovery Month
September is National Alcohol and Drug Addiction Recovery Month, a time dedicated to understanding addiction - the country's top health problem affecting millions of people. This year's theme is "Join the Voices for Recovery: Now More Than Ever!" and emphasizes how stress may exacerbate alcohol and/or drug use.
Recovery Month celebrates individuals and families in recovery, as well as those who work in the field. During September:
- Educate yourself about what constitutes addiction
- Seek help if you have an addiction
- Encourage someone who may be suffering from addiction to get help
- Find a rally or a 5K run in your area celebrating Recovery Month at http://www.recoverymonth.gov
