Join United in Recovery as they honor the lives and journey of recovery throughout the month of September. From naloxone distributions and a 30-day self-care challenge, Recovery Month is for everyone - every person, every family, every community.
Since its start in 1989, National Recovery Month is held every September to promote and support our nation’s strong and proud recovery community, new evidence-based treatment and recovery practices, and the dedication of service providers and communities who make recovery in all its forms possible.
Self-care is often a critical component to long-term recovery. It includes nurturing both a person’s physical and mental health and can also help prevent relapse. During recovery, some of the key acts of self-care are connecting with other people and therapy which is why United in Recovery offers an annual 30-day self-care challenge as part of Recovery Month.
