Media Outreach

To draw media attention to the Recovery Month 2004 celebration, SAMHSA hosted the kick-off press conference on September 9th in the Holeman Lounge at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C.

Print coverage for national and local events was monitored nationwide for Recovery Month in national and local newspapers, magazines, and on the Internet. To date 296 press clippings have been collected, through publications with a collective circulation of more than five million.

The Recovery Month effort aims to promote the societal benefits of alcohol and drug use disorder treatment, laud the contributions of treatment providers and promote the message that recovery from alcohol and drug use disorders in all its forms is possible.
