Why This Month Matters

National Recovery Month (est. 1989) honors the strength of people in recovery, highlights evidence-based treatment, and celebrates providers and communities who make recovery possible.

What Doctors Say

• Substance use disorders are treatable medical conditions.
• Recovery improves health outcomes when paired with evidence-based care like medications, counseling, and support groups.
• Whole-person care—housing, therapy, nutrition, and community—is vital.
  
  

The Role of Therapy, Counseling, and Yearly Physicals

• Therapy works. Psychotherapy is effective for depression, anxiety, trauma, and substance use.
• Annual checkups catch early signs of health issues, track vitals, and prevent relapse triggers.
  
  

Steps Forward

• Talk to a clinician about treatment options, including MAT.
• Find a counselor or support group.
• In crisis, call/text 988 for immediate help.

Declaration: “By God’s grace, I am not my past. I am healing, I am growing, and I am free.”

Prayer: Father, thank You for new beginnings. Strengthen all pursuing recovery and surround them with supportive community. Amen.
