National Alcohol and Drug Addiction Recovery Month
September is National Alcohol and Drug Addiction Recovery Month in the US. It is sponsored by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration’s (SAMHSA’s) Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT).
It is possible to treat addiction, whether it be submitting oneself for alcohol rehab or getting into a drug treatment center. The important thing is to acknowledge that there is a problem and be open to accept help. Recovery is not an easy process but there is a whole lot of support available out there if one is willing to reach out. Such is the aim of this awareness campaign.
