This Webcast is the first in a series of programs in anticipation of the 20th annual National Alcohol and Drug Addiction Recovery Month, the theme of which is "Join the Voices for Recovery: Together We Learn, Together We Heal." We will look back at Recovery Month events held across the country in 2008 and set the stage for another successful celebration in September 2009. In addition, "Join the Voices for Recovery: Together We Learn, Together We Heal" will help guide individuals, organizations, and communities as they plan and host events to raise awareness about the benefits of addiction treatment and the rewards of recovery for the whole family.
