What is Recovery Month? Now in its 31st year, Recovery Month celebrates the gains made by those in recovery from addictions. Each September, Recovery Month works to promote and support new evidence-based treatment and recovery practices, the emergence of a strong and proud recover community, and the dedication of service providers and community members across the nation who make recovery, in all its forms, possible.
The theme for 2020 National Recovery Month is: “Join the Voices for Recovery: Celebrating Connections.” Many of us struggle with some form of addiction, and we also have friends and loved ones who do too. Addiction, in its many forms, is so prevalent in today’s society that we may all benefit by connecting with others who have been there before and can help lead us down the path to recovery. The library has books on various topics that might help you or someone you know. Please share this post with anyone you think might be interested.
