About Recovery Month
Celebrating the strength of our community.
Recovery Month is a time to celebrate those in recovery and the strength of the recovery community. During Recovery Month, we remember that recovery is for everyone – and it can also look different for everyone. Whether you are just beginning your recovery journey, are in long-term recovery, or love someone who is in recovery, the Helpline can connect you to services and supports that are right for you.
About recovery
Recovery is a personal journey.
Recovery is a process of change through which individuals improve their health and wellness, live a self-directed life, and strive to reach their full potential (SAMHSA). While long-term recovery can be hard to imagine if you are still using or in early recovery, it is possible and happens every day.
Recovery is personal, and it looks different for everyone. There are many ways to support recovery. Some of these options are self-help and mutual support groups, recovery coaching, Peer Recovery Support Centers, recovery homes, recovery high schools, and more. There are also medications available that help people enter and maintain recovery. Our Helpline Specialists can share a menu of options that will support your journey. Call us at 800.327.5050 to talk about what might be right for you, or learn more about recovery.
