Celebrating National Recovery Month
Recovery Month is a national observance held every September to educate Americans that substance use treatment and mental health services can enable those with a mental and/or substance use disorder to live a healthy and rewarding life.
In honor of National Recovery Month 2021, the Sussex County Recovery Community helped us create a video to share why recovery is important. Because of this, the community, family members, those in recovery and those who may still be struggling to find recovery, can see the happiness and joy that recovery has brought into their lives. The joy of recovery is the most important message we can share, as it helps those struggling to see what recovery can do for them, too.
For more information, please contact Marjorie, Recovery Center Coordinator at 973-940-2966 or [email protected]
