Overview
About the event
National Recovery Month has a background that dates back more than 30 years, when it was begun in the United States by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) in 1989.
The idea surrounding the event was to raise awareness for and minimize sigmas about addiction and recovery so that more people would gain the support they need as well as celebrating their accomplishments in overcoming substance abuse.
In 2020, the SAMHSA released its responsibility for managing themes and marketing for National Recovery Month, and the task was picked up by some other organizations.
These groups include the National Association for Alcoholism and Drug Abuse Counselors (NAADAC) as well as the organization called Faces & Voices of Recovery.?�?�
The permanent tagline that has been adopted by National Recovery Month is �??Every Person. Every Family. Every Community.�?�
The idea behind this theme is that substance abuse and addictions impact everyone and it is important to the recovery process to have support and care on a variety of levels.
While September is celebrated as National Recovery Month in the United States, many cities and provinces in the country of Canada have also adopted a similar idea.
