Every year SAMHSA (The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration) promotes recovery in a BIG way during the month of September. This year is no exception. The theme of The National Alcohol and Drug Prevention Recovery Month for 2008 is Join the Voices for Recovery - Real People, Real Recovery.
One of the services provided is a monthly webcast, focusing on an important issue in the recovery community. I was asked to be part of the August webcast entitled Accessing Prevention, Treatment, and Recovery Online where I, along with three other professionals, discussed the changes that have occurred in the addiction and recovery field in the 21st century, especially as a result of the explosion of the internet in the mid 90’s.
To find out what’s going on in your state/area for Recovery Month, go to www.recoverymonth.gov. There you will find information on current publications, other webcasts, support and things you can do to promote recovery in your community, especially during the month of September.
Support this national effort to let the voices for recovery be heard loud and clear. This is our chance to share our experience, strength and hope from one end of the country to the other! Get out there! Spread the word! Have a blast!
