2006 Recovery Month Web Site Launched
The Web site launch for 2006 National Alcohol and Drug
Addiction Recovery Month (Recovery Month) marks the beginning
of this annual SAMHSA event's 17th year of celebrating
the hope of recovery. Sponsored by SAMHSA's Center for
Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT), Recovery Month activities
are held nationwide during the month of September each
year.
This year's theme is "Join the Voices for Recovery:
Build a Stronger, Healthier Community."
The Web site offers the "Road to Recovery 2006"
series, which will air 10 Web casts to premiere on the
first Wednesday of each month and be archived for viewing
at any time immediately afterwards.
The first Web cast, posted on January 11, serves as
an informative introduction to September's 2006 Recovery
Month observance. "The 2006 Road to Recovery"
features CSAT Director H. Westley Clark, Associate Director
for Consumer Affairs Ivette Torres (program host), and
recovery community representatives from across the Nation.
Suggestions are provided to help individuals and communities
nationwide discover how to become involved in Recovery
Month at the local level.
Currently, downloadable 2006
flyers in English and Spanish also are available online.
In addition, information
is also available on how to receive periodic email updates
on activities leading up to Recovery Month in September.
