September is National Alcohol & Drug Addiction Recovery Month: a time to raise awareness that recovery is possible, honor the courage of those in recovery, and remind everyone that no one has to walk this journey alone.
Why Recovery Month Matters to Youth in Foster Care
Youth and young adults who have experienced foster care often face unique challenges. For some, this can include struggles with substance use. Recovery Month is a reminder: healing and growth are always possible, no matter your past. Recovery looks different for everyone, and every step forward is worth celebrating.

A Time to Celebrate and Learn
National Recovery Month started in 1989 to highlight evidence-based treatment and recovery practices and promote public awareness about addiction and recovery. Each September, SAMHSA emphasizes individual growth, long-term recovery, and the impact of community support.
Recovery Is Possible And Worth Celebrating
Recovery is not just possible, it’s something to celebrate. Millions of individuals and families are living proof of the strength, resilience, and hope that come with healing. With community support, prevention, and access to effective treatment, recovery can be sustainable, creating healthier and stronger communities for all.
