Every year, towns, counties, and states around the country observe National Alcohol and Drug Addiction Recovery Month in September. This year, the 19th annual Recovery Month recognizes the impact that real people and real stories have on recovery, and celebrates those who have worked to advance the treatment and recovery landscape.
July's Webcast:
"Real People, Real Recovery: Effectively Delivering Recovery-Oriented Systems of Care"
In 2006, an estimated 22.6 million persons aged 12 or older were classified with substance dependence or abuse in the past year. Of these, only 4 million received some kind of treatment for a problem related to the use of alcohol or illicit drugs. Luckily, a host of services exists for those who need them.
From 12-step programs to inpatient and outpatient treatment, and from recovery-oriented housing to sober recreational activities like those celebrated each September during Recovery Month, there is an entire network of treatment and support services available for those dealing with substance abuse and mental health disorders. This Webcast will examine some of those services and explore ways to increase awareness and better deliver these services to those who need them.
