DDAP Seeks National Recovery Month Events for Statewide Listing
Organizations wanting to include their recovery month events on the Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs’ National Recovery Month web page should email the DDAP Press Office.
September is National Recovery Month, which celebrates the gains made by those in recovery from substance use and mental health. Recovery Month works to promote and support new evidence-based treatment and recovery practices, the emergence of a strong and proud recovery community, and the dedication of service providers and community members across the nation who make recovery in all its forms possible.
September is National Recovery Month — Message from Secretary Jennifer Smith
Watch video from Secretary Jen Smith
Just as the storm is making its way across our state today— families and individuals across Pennsylvania are weathering internal storms of their own everyday caused by the disease of addiction.
Today is September 1, which marks the start of National Recovery Month. The goal throughout September is to come together, celebrate individuals in recovery, and offer hope to those who are struggling. National Recovery Month reinforces the positive message that behavioral health is essential to overall health, prevention works, treatment is effective, and people can and do recover.
I encourage you to visit our 2021 National Recovery Month webpage for events near you and for information regarding our National Recovery Month Twitter chat on September 14.
